GOODBYE
Burning Bridges: Embracing Liberation in Goodbye
Lyrics
This is the last time
This marks the final occasion
You'll hear from me
No further communication will come from me
Anybody in their right mind
Anyone in their rational state of mind
Would do the same thing
Would take the same action
And leave you out to dry
Abandoning you, leaving you without support
With a match and gasoline
Using a match and gasoline metaphorically
And let your love pile up while I'm setting it free
Allowing your love to accumulate while I liberate myself
Cause I'm Burning this bridge
Initiating the deliberate destruction of our connection
Letting it go
Releasing and moving on
What's left of us is up In smoke
What remains of our relationship is disappearing
Cause I'm tired of all your games
Expressing weariness of manipulative behavior
That's why we're up in flames
Explaining the reason for the relationship's demise
I'm doing all I can do
Putting forth maximum effort
To get away from loving you
Attempting to distance oneself from love for you
And I guess I got it right this time
Confirming the correctness of the decision this time
Cause I'm settin' up settin' up for a Goodbye
Preparing for a definite farewell
You said I was losing you
You claimed I was losing you
But that aint the truth
Contradicting the assertion that it's the truth
Look at who's leaving who
Observing the reversal of roles in the breakup
You broke my heart like I was nothing to you
Expressing the intense emotional pain caused
Don't care if y'all were just friends
Disregarding the nature of your relationship with others
Guess you know how this story ends
Implying awareness of the predictable conclusion
Cause I'm Burning this bridge
Continuing the metaphorical destruction of the connection
Letting it go
Letting go completely
What's left of us is up In smoke
The remnants of us disappearing in a destructive manner
Cause I'm tired of all your games
Expressing exhaustion from manipulative behavior
That's why we're up in flames
Clarifying the reason for the relationship's end
I'm doing all I can do
Exerting every effort to break free from loving you
To get away from loving you
Confirming the correctness of the decision this time
And I guess I got it right this time
Preparing for an inevitable farewell
Cause I'm settin' up settin' up for a Goodbye
Setting up for a definite goodbye
Some might say things won't ever change
Suggesting skepticism about the possibility of change
But one thing for sure is your last name
Highlighting the certainty of your surname remaining unchanged
Cause I'm Burning this bridge
Continuing the intentional destruction of the connection
Letting it go
Letting go entirely
What's left of us is up In smoke
Our relationship dissipating in a destructive manner
Cause I'm tired of all your games
Expressing weariness from manipulative behavior
That's why we're up in flames
Clarifying the reason for the relationship's end
I'm doing all I can do
Putting forth every effort to break free from loving you
To get away from loving you
Confirming the correctness of the decision this time
And I guess I got it right this time
Preparing for an inevitable farewell
Cause I'm settin' up, settin' up for a Goodbye
Setting up for a definite goodbye
Settin' up for a Goodbye
Preparing for a definite farewell
