Burning Bridges

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.

You and I were meant to be

Ain't no doubt about it

No way to hide that sort of thing

Now I’m waiting for something better

Ain't nothing better worth imagining

I, I keep on running

I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted

Look for my heart

You stole it away

Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take

Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down

I said, I want you to burn my bridges down

Set me on fire

You set me

Set me on fire

You can burn my bridges down

Send this out to sea

Send it where you wanted

You can take your 'no' for 'no' or 'not at all'

There’s no filling up your spaces with fictionary places

Imaginary faces they don’t work at all

I, I keep on running

I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted

Look for my heart

You stole it away

Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take

Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down

I said, I want you to burn my bridges down

Set me on fire

You set me

Set me on fire

Girl, you burnt my bridges down

I want you to burn my bridges down, down

I want you to burn my bridges down

Set me on fire

You set me

Set me on fire

Set me on fire

I want you to burn my bridges down

I said, I want you to burn my bridges down

Down, down

Set me on fire

Set me on fire
