Bridges

Burning Bridges of Regret: Lifehouse's Reflective Melody
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

It's such a shame to let this go to waste

Expressing regret over wasting something valuable

There's little time left here for saving face

Time is running out to salvage the situation

We tried to put a bandage on these years

Attempted to cover up or fix past problems

I know this isn't what you want to hear

Acknowledging an unwelcome truth


You can say what you like

Encouraging freedom of speech despite consequences

Pass the blame, I don't mind

Accepting responsibility for actions

Because we both lit the match that burned the bridge

Both parties contributed to destroying the relationship

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

Reiteration of shared responsibility for the consequences

We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

Witnessing the destruction of their relationship


Yeah, yeah, oh oh

Expressing emotions with sounds (yeah, oh)


I've come and grown this broken load of gold

Growth despite carrying emotional burdens

What slipped through the cracks

Things that were overlooked or neglected

I fear we'll never know

Fear of never understanding what was lost

I walk you through the graveyard of my mind

Sharing personal struggles with the partner

Show you a love

Revealing a love that was suppressed or hidden

That I buried alive

Describing burying emotions or feelings alive


'Cause we both walked away

Mutual abandonment of the relationship

Who was wrong? Whose to say?

Uncertainty about assigning blame

You can say what you like

Encouraging open expression despite fault

Pass the blame, I don't mind

Acceptance of shared responsibility for consequences

Because we both lit the match that burned the bridge

Both parties ignited the conflict leading to separation

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

Reiteration of shared responsibility for the fallout

We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

Observing the destruction of their relationship


Yeah down

Yeah oh down

-

Yeah, yeah

-

Yeah

-

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

Reiteration of both parties causing the rift

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

Stressing mutual responsibility for the consequence

We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

Witnessing the irreversible collapse of their relationship


Yeah, yeah, oh oh

Expressing emotions with sounds (yeah, oh)

Yeah, yeah, oh oh

-

Yeah, yeah, oh oh
