Each time I think he gives a damn.
He mistreats me.
There's nothing I can do or can't do
to make things right again.
Each day goes by
And my life and spirit are slowly
slipping away from reality
and from me.
All I'm asking is for some love
and someone to treat me right.
Not like a fucking slave.
I'm travelling on this
bridge to see if it could
take me to a better place.
But yet, when I get closer,
It gets further away.
I look around me,
seeing people enjoyin' their lives.
Why can't I be like them?
I'm livin' in despair and have lost all hope.
So now I'm on this bridge leadin' to nowhere
But hopefully a better place.
