Bridge of Sighs
Louise Goffin Lyrics

Is your love something that can be won?
I wonder if I can win your love or if it's even possible.

When heaven knows how much I try
I've tried so hard, but it seems like heaven is against me.

Or is there something that you're keeping?
Do you have something you're hiding from me?

I say goodnight, you say goodbye
I try to end the day peacefully, and you leave me abruptly.

I'm not pretending
I'm being honest and genuine.

To call you over something small
I don't want to bother you with something insignificant.

I just want you to tell me
I just need to hear the truth from you.

That it ain't true
That what I fear isn't actually true.

You know I love you
You're aware of how much I care for you.

But it don't change your mind
However, my love isn't enough to change your mind.

You're just breaking my heart in two
Your actions are causing me immense pain and heartbreak.

Somewhere there's a river
There is a place I can escape to.

Where stars don't want to shine
Where even the stars don't want to be seen.

The postman don't deliver
A place where even mail isn't delivered.

But I'm dancing out of the blue
But despite this, I am still happy and carefree.

On the bridge of sighs
On the bridge that connects sorrow and happiness.

Once I dreamt I saw my father
I had a dream where my father appeared to me.

He said there are chains
He warned me of the invisible chains that hold us down.

You just can't see
Those chains are often invisible, but we feel their weight.

Told me to take good care
He advised me to cherish and nurture the people that matter to me.

Of the ones I love
Of the people I hold dear.

I said Who's gonna take good care of me?
I wondered who will take care of me and make me feel loved.

Now you say that you want
You tell me that you want something from me.

Someone to depend on
You need someone who can provide support.

But you don't like it
However, it seems like you don't actually like me depending on you.

When I'm depending on you
When I need your help and rely on you.

You know I need you
You're aware of how much I depend on you.

But it don't change your mind
But even knowing this isn't enough to make you want to help me.

I just want you to say, It isn't true.
I want you to assure me that my fears aren't based in reality.

Somewhere there's a river
There is still hope and a place I can go to escape.

Where stars don't want to shine
Where even the brightest and most beautiful things don't want to be seen.

The postman, he don't deliver
Even in a place like that, there are things that don't reach us.

But I'm dancing out of the blue
But despite this, I am still able to find joy and happiness.

On the bridge of sighs
On the bridge that connects us to the pain, sadness, and hope in life.
