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.

Thanks for treating me like every boy you meet

So please come in and take a seat

Here's the part where I learn and you will teach

On how to treat people like a piece of meat

I want a genuine, not a replica

Lethal medicine, a pin to the corneia

A sight for sore eyes

While other guys consume the lies

I'll run and hide

No doors exist in my fortress

The only entrance is the one I bear

You're nothing more than a temptress

I fell victim to a heartless scare

Burn the bridge down

I never will cross that bridge again

I cannot trust you easily

Or think that I'm the only one

I never let people in

And I have you to remind me why

So baby, burn the bridge down

I never will cross that bridge again

I'd rather drown

I'm the master of construction

Because I'm building walls like it's my occupation

If you portray a liar

I'll shut you out without hesitation

It's an art form of consummate skill (haha consummate skill)

Of how she plays them like the pawn

Making boys drool at her will

Like bablov to the docks

No doors exist in my fortress

The only entrance is the one I bear

You're nothing more than a temptress

I fell victim to a heartless scare

Burn the bridge down

I never will cross that bridge again

I cannot trust you easily

Or think that I'm the only one

I never let people in

And I have you to remind me why

So baby, burn the bridge down

I never will cross that bridge again

I'd rather, I'd rather, I'd rather!

Fail me, slit my throat so lightly

Pick me up and drop me right into my grave

And now I wonder, sit alone and ponder

Should I even bother when I see your face?

The itch I couldn't scratch

But I come crawling back but no

I'd much rather, rather, rather, rather, rather, rather

Sing it boys

I'd rather burn the bridge down

I never will cross that bridge again

I cannot trust you easily

Or think that I'm the only one

I never let people in

And I have you to remind me why

So baby, burn the bridge down

I never will cross that bridge again

Go ahead and burn the bridge down (go ahead and burn that bridge right down)

I never will cross that bridge again (it's what you wanted)

I cannot trust you easily (burn that bridge right down)

Or think that I'm the only one (I'm not the only one)

I never let people in

And I have you to remind me why (the only one)

So baby, burn the bridge down

I never will cross that bridge again

I'd rather drown
