Water Under Bridges
Bridges of Reflection: Unveiling Life's Lessons
Lyrics
People say
People commonly suggest...
It's water under bridges
That past issues are no longer relevant
But I think
However, the speaker disagrees
That’s just what it isn’t
Asserting that it's not true
Cause I see
As the tension or problems...
Water rising high
Seem to be intensifying
You don’t see
Another person fails to perceive...
Look into my eyes
The emotional depth or reality
No I won’t look back
The speaker refuses...
Ain’t got time for all that
To dwell on the past
I thought this was in the past
Initially thought to be resolved
You can’t take it all back
Yet, it cannot be undone
You say it’s under the bridge
The other party insists...
You don’t like to relive
On avoiding revisiting painful memories
Things I’d like to revisit
The speaker desires...
You would rather not listen
To confront these issues
What if it’s water under bridges that have already burned
Considering if the conflicts...
You’d fail the task of owning things that could have been learned
Have caused irreversible damage
Mistakes will happen
Errors are inevitable
Name one that hasn’t
Challenging to identify a mistake-free scenario
No one was asking
No one demanded perfection
For you to be perfect
No expectation for flawlessness
People say
Reiterating the common belief...
It's water under bridges
That past events are insignificant
(water under bridges)
(Reinforcing the idea)
But I think
Challenging the validity...
That’s just what it isn’t
Of considering the past as irrelevant
(that’s just what it isn't)
(Questioning its truth)
Cause I see
Observing a worsening situation
Water rising high
The problem seems to escalate
(water rising high)
(The issue grows)
You don’t see
Failure to perceive the severity
Look into my eyes
Directing attention to the eyes
(look into my eyes)
(Suggesting a need for understanding)
People say
(Repetition of common belief)
It's water under bridges
Reiterating the belief in dismissing the past
(water under bridges)
(Reinforcing the idea)
But I think
Repeating the disagreement
That’s just what it isn’t
Stating that it's not the truth
(that’s just what it isn't)
(Denying its accuracy)
Cause I see
Observing a worsening situation
Water rising high
Stating the problem's intensification
(water rising high)
(Highlighting the issue's growth)
You don’t see
Failure to perceive the severity
Look into my eyes
Directing attention to the eyes
(look into my eyes)
(Reiterating the need for understanding)
(Look into my eyes)
(Emphasizing the importance of perception)
