The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are bridges I will burn to keep me running
Spectacular as they are, I can bring them down
And you wanna see which powers I can summon
And every little thing, every little thing
That matters to you
(Chorus)
You could turn it around, give a little
Like you don't know how
But you're wide open now
Wide open
No, it doesn't have to be like this, baby
It doesn't have to be like this, baby
It doesn't have to be like this
I want to say you made me feel stupid
I suspect you feel and sad and drifted upon (???)
Underneath you surely suffer
But I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
A darkness to you
(Chorus)
You could turn it around, give a little
Like you don't know how
But you're wide open now
Wide open
No, it doesn't have to be like this, baby
It doesn't have to be like this, baby
It doesn't have to be like this
(Repeat until fade)
