Burn it Down
Embers of Heartbreak: Joseph Bergstrom's Soulful Reflection
Lyrics
And all of the waiting I have done in my mind
The waiting I've endured mentally
All of the hating I have yet to find
Feelings of animosity I've not yet discovered
It all seems like a dream here in my eyes
All appears like an unreal situation to me
Oh, Lord, if they were only lies
Expressing a wish for falsehood in the situation
And all of the dreaming you have written in my heart
Your aspirations and dreams inscribed in my emotions
All of the hopes we had placed from the start
All the expectations we initially had
It all fades from my thoughts, each time I believe
All of it diminishes each time I trust
I think I’m going to take my hope and leave
Considering abandoning my optimism
And if we have to burn this bridge, let’s burn it down right
If we must end this relationship, let's do it decisively
Take my eyes from my head, take me from my sight
Metaphorically removing my ability to see the situation
Break all my memories, let me lay at ease
Wishing to forget all past recollections and be at peace
Take from me anything you damned well please
Willing to relinquish anything without hesitation
And if you think it’s time to go, let’s not waste around
If departure is necessary, let's not delay
I’ll find a shovel, and put a grave in the ground
Ready to symbolically bury the connection
Put on our mourning clothes and cry and grieve
To mourn and lament our separation
One can come and two can leave
One person stays while two depart
And if we have to burn this bridge, let’s burn it down right
If a breakup is inevitable, let's do it conclusively
Take my eyes from my head, take me from my sight
Symbolic removal of perception from the situation
Break all my memories, let me lay at ease
Desire to erase all past memories and find peace
Take from me anything you damned well please
Willingness to surrender anything without hesitation
Take from me anything you damned well please
Reiteration of readiness to surrender anything
