Smoke from a Bridge You Burned
Love's Ember Fades: Smoke and Lessons from a Bridge
Lyrics
We had a fire so bright, could light up the darkest night
We had a vibrant and intense love that could illuminate even the darkest moments.
Never was love so right as it was then
At that time, our love felt perfect and unmatched.
But all of that’s over now 'cause your flames burned out somehow
However, all of that is now in the past because your passion and commitment have faded away somehow.
You came here to let me down with just a few words
You came to deliver disappointing news with just a few words, ending our relationship.
And turned the light of your life into smoke from a bridge you burned
You transformed the light and positivity in your life into the aftermath of a burned bridge.
Have you really thought this through?
Have you thoroughly considered the consequences of your actions?
If you let go I will too
If you decide to let go, I will also move on from our relationship.
That all of the love I thought we knew will never return
The love that I believed in and thought would endure will never come back.
Oh, it will drift off to nothing, smoke from a bridge you burned
It will slowly fade away, becoming nothing more than the smoke from a bridge you burned.
Then someday when it’s too late you’ll realize
At some point in the future, when it's too late, you'll realize the significance of our past.
It’s more than my memory stinging your eyes
Your memories of our time together will be more than just a fleeting recollection; they will bring tears to your eyes.
And you’ll run back to tell me the lessons you've learned
You will return, wanting to share the lessons you've learned, but all that will remain are ashes and the remnants of a burned bridge.
But you’ll only find ashes and smoke from a bridge you burned
Only remnants of our past will greet you, represented by ashes and smoke from the bridge you destroyed.
You know once you close that door it won’t open anymore
Once you close the door on our relationship, there will be no reopening it.
So turn around now if you're ever going to turn
If you have any second thoughts, now is the time to reconsider.
‘Cause the moment you leave
Leaving me will symbolize turning me into the aftermath of a burned bridge.
You’ll be turning me into smoke from a bridge you burned
As soon as you leave, you'll be transforming our relationship into the smoke from a bridge you burned.
