Burning Bridges
Burning Bridges: Love's Embers Fade Away
Lyrics
Found some letters that you wrote me this mornin'
Discovery of letters received in the morning that reminisce about past love.
And they told of a love we once knew
The letters narrate a love story from the past.
Now they're gone, I burned them to ashes
Decided to destroy the letters by burning them to ashes.
Don't want nothin' to remind me of you
Expressing the desire to erase all reminders of the former love.
Burning bridges behind me
Metaphorically speaking about cutting ties and moving forward.
It's to late to turn back now
Regretting that it's too late to reverse the decision to sever connections.
Burning bridges behind me
Reiteration of the irreversible act of burning bridges.
All I want is to forget you somehow
Expressing the sole desire to forget the past love.
Sold the house we once planned together
Sold the house planned for the future together.
I said goodbye to the friends we once knew
Bidding farewell to mutual friends shared in the past.
Then I moved to a faraway city
Relocated to a distant city in an attempt to leave behind memories.
Trying hard to forget about you
Struggling to overcome the memories associated with the former love.
Burning bridges behind me
Continuing the metaphor of burning bridges as a symbolic act of moving forward.
It's to late to turn back now
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the decision to cut ties.
Burning bridges behind me
Reaffirmation of the irreversible act of burning bridges.
All I want is to forget you somehow
Reiterating the primary goal of forgetting the past love.
All I want is to forget you somehow
Reiteration of the longing to forget the past love.
