Lyrics
I can feel a strong desire
I sense a strong longing or passion
A distant fire burning through the past
A distant conflict or turmoil from the past continues to affect me
Deep inside my heart is yearning
Deep within, my heart is yearning or strongly desiring
A bridge is burning
A connection or relationship is irreversibly breaking apart
There's just no turning back
There's no possibility of returning to the way things were
After all the hell I've tasted
Having experienced significant difficulties
Years I've wasted
Years have been wasted
Love that slipped away
Love that I once had has slipped away
Suddenly a vision shook me
A sudden realization or insight shakes me
I see the fool I'd become content to play
I see the foolish person I've become, content with a shallow existence
Over one-way streets in blindin' heat
Navigating difficult circumstances with no clear direction
I carry this torch alone
I carry the burden or responsibility alone
I ask for no directions home
Choosing a path without guidance
You can call out my name but I won't return
You can call my name, but I won't respond
I'm a fugitive of love and this heart's been burned
I am avoiding love and have been emotionally hurt
Oh, burning bridges behind me
Burning bridges symbolize irreversible actions or decisions in my past
You can follow me down but it's plain to see
Others can follow me, but the consequences are evident
I'm a victim of the burn and it's third degree
I am a victim of emotional pain, and it's severe
Oh, setting bridges on fire
Actively causing disruption or turmoil in relationships
I will go to any length
I am willing to go to any extent
To find the strength
To find the inner strength to face challenges alone
To face the night alone
Facing the night symbolizes confronting difficulties
Standing on the edge of time
At the brink of a critical moment in time
I cross the line
I've crossed a boundary or made a significant decision
My heart becomes my own
My heart becomes independent or self-reliant
Gonna tell you why you're a fool to try
Explaining why attempting to cross a burning bridge is foolish
To cross a burning bridge
It's a challenging and dangerous situation
It's a long hard fall from the top of the ridge
A significant fall from a high point
You can call out my name but I won't return
You can call my name, but I won't respond
I'm a fugitive of love and this heart's been burned
Avoiding love due to emotional scars
Oh, burning bridges behind me
Burning bridges behind me represents irreversible actions
You can follow me down but it's plain to see
Others can follow, but the consequences are clear
I'm a victim of the burn and it's third degree
A victim of severe emotional pain
Oh, setting bridges on fire
Actively causing disruption or turmoil in relationships
You can call out my name but I won't return
You can call my name, but I won't respond
I'm a fugitive of love and this heart's been burned
Avoiding love due to emotional scars
Oh, burning bridges behind me
Burning bridges behind me represents irreversible actions
You can follow me down but it's plain to see
Others can follow, but the consequences are clear
I'm a victim of the burn and it's third degree
A victim of severe emotional pain
Oh, setting bridges on fire
Actively causing disruption or turmoil in relationships
Oh, burning bridges behind me
Burning bridges symbolizes irreversible actions in my past
Oh, burning bridges on fire, on fire, oh, oh
Bridges are on fire, signifying a destructive situation
