Burn Bridge, Burn
Embracing Liberation: Burn Bridge, Find Freedom
Lyrics
I wish that I wasn't a ghost to you
I feel disconnected and unnoticed by you
I wish that I walked away gracefully, too
I wish I could have ended our relationship gracefully
But how do I end things with a friend in a nice way
Ending a friendship is difficult, and I want to do it kindly
No, we're both gonna hurt
We both will experience pain from this separation
We've danced too close to that fire
We've taken risks that have led to problems
Burn, bridge
Symbolic call to end the connection
Burn bridge, burn
Emphasizing the need to sever ties definitively
Love, let go, and learn
Encouraging love, release, and learning from the experience
Let the flames shed light
The separation will reveal important truths
On what I need to see
The consequences will illuminate what I must understand
Burn bridge, set me free
Expressing the desire to be liberated through the separation
I want to say, I'm sorry that I got sick
I apologize for my illness and losing myself
Then I lost who I was
I was influenced negatively by a toxic person
Hanging round a man who was toxic
Reflecting on a period of vulnerability
But that's when I needed friendship the most
I needed friendship during this challenging time
I was down on my luck
I faced difficulties, but I take responsibility
I'm still at fault, nobody's perfect
No one is perfect, and I acknowledge my flaws
But you wished I was
You wished I were perfect, adding to the strain
Burn, bridge
Reiteration of the decision to end the relationship
Burn bridge, burn
Emphasizing the need for a definitive break
Love, let go, and learn
Encouraging love, release, and learning from the experience (repeated)
Let the flames shed light
Reiterating that separation will bring clarity
On what I need to see
Highlighting the revelation of essential truths
Burn bridge, it's meant to be
Affirming that the breakup is destined
Sometimes I wish I could hit restart and do it all over
Expressing a desire to start over and change the past
Play a different part in the movie I'm watching
Desiring a different role in the unfolding drama of life
Over and over again
Acknowledging a repetitive cycle of experiences
Maybe I'll see you at the coffee shop
Speculating a chance encounter at a familiar place
And my heart will race, it'll almost stop
Anticipating a potential emotional reaction
But you'll smile and give me a nod
Imagining a civil acknowledgment and moving forward
And we both move on
Both parties accepting the need to move on
Burn, bridge
Repetition of the symbolic act of ending the connection
Burn bridge, burn
Reiterating the finality of severing ties
We're meant to love, let go, and learn
Stating that separation is a part of the learning process
Let the flames shed light
Emphasizing the illuminating effect of the breakup
On all I need to see
Highlighting the revelations that need to be acknowledged
Burn bridge, set me free
Expressing the need to be liberated through separation (repeated)
Burn bridge, set me free
Repetition of the desire to be set free through the breakup
So burn bridge, set me free
Final plea for the freedom that comes with ending the connection
