... sometimes it's better to burn it to the ground than waste your time and energy fixing it.

lyrics

Burn. These. Bridges.
©2019 – R. Dreskin

VERSE 1
Do you ever miss me?
Do I haunt your dreams?
Do you ever even think of me?
Do you regret anything?

Do you hate me, blame me, call me names the way I do you? Do you? Do you?
Do you still pretend
that you don’t understand
What made me so damn mad?
What made me …

CHORUS 1
Burn … these bridges to the ground.
Watch me walk away.
Don’t care I’m not around.
Did you ever anyway?

VERSE 2
And when the bad dreams come
They’re not about the burn.
I don’t hide. And I don’t run.
I want to face you head on-
Take your hand, hear your laugh, like before we were done.

But no – I can’t get to you. No – I just can’t reach you.
Something’s always in the way:
phone won’t dial, can’t get a signal,
Can’t find the right words to say.
And there’s nothing I can do but watch you fade away …
And when I wake I …

CHORUS 2
Burn … these bridges to the ground.
Watch me walk away.
Don’t care I’m not around.
Did you ever anyway?

Burn these bridges down.
Burn, burn these bridges.
Light the match. Walk away.
You never even bothered to ask if I’m ok.
Not that it would’ve mattered anyway.
Just light the match and walk away.
I’m not sorry. Not sorry. Sorry not sorry.

BRIDGE
Burned. Pushed. Dropped & left –
I’ve stood alone watching, waiting after the fire was – SET.
But WHO lit that match? WHO set who free …
from being scarred yet again by a wolf …
dressed in the clothing of a friend?

We had our time, had our fun.
Our shelf-life has come and gone.
Still, each time I speak your name … My - Lips - Burn.


VERSE 3
It doesn’t mean I never miss you.
It doesn’t mean that I forget
How we laughed. How we cried. How we danced in the sun.
In my dreams I can call, and you still come …
But when I wake I …

CHORUS 3
Burn … these bridges to the ground.
Watch me walk away.
Don’t care I’m not around.
Did you ever anyway?

Burn these bridges down.
Burn, burn these bridges.
Burn these bridges down.
Burn, burn these bridges.

Light the match. Walk away.
You never even bothered …
Just light the match, light the match
And watch it burn.
