Burned Bridges
Burning Bridges of Love: Thomas Newton's Emotionally Charged Reflection
Lyrics
I don't ever wanna try to change you
I don't want to attempt to change you.
I know it's not my place
Acknowledging that it's not my position.
I can see that doors are closing
I notice that opportunities are closing.
And I'm not in frame
I'm not part of the picture.
Tried to save our world from ending
Attempted to prevent our relationship from falling apart.
But you're never wrong
Regardless, you never admit fault.
And I know that you know this won't last long
Aware that the situation won't endure for long.
So burn down my bridges
Advocating for the destruction of connections.
Cuz I can't leave when your foot's in the door
Unable to depart when you're still involved.
So save all the complaining
Requesting to refrain from complaints.
Cuz I can't stay when my heart isn't yours
Cannot remain when my heart no longer belongs to you.
No, I can't stay when my heart isn't yours
Reiterating the inability to stay when the emotional connection is severed.
Read the room I don't want you to feel
Expressing concern about your self-worth.
Less than you are worth
Advising against feeling undervalued.
You'll make mistakes with someone else now
You will repeat mistakes with someone else.
Dig up all their dirt
Revealing hidden faults of others.
I've heard your stories changing
Noting the inconsistency in your narratives.
You've said enough
You've said enough, implying reconciliation is unlikely.
And I know that you know we won't make up
Acknowledging the impossibility of reconciliation.
So burn down my bridges
Reiterating the call to end connections.
Cuz I can't leave when your foot's in the door
Unable to leave when your influence persists.
So save all the complaining
Requesting to avoid complaints.
Cuz I can't stay when my heart isn't yours
Cannot stay when the emotional connection is severed.
No, I can't stay when my heart isn't yours
Reiterating the inability to stay post-relationship breakdown.
No, I can't change
Expressing an inability to change.
No, I can't wait
Implying no willingness to wait.
Fires tearing down
Describing destructive fires tearing down connections.
The bridges I saved
Referring to the consequences of saving bridges.
No, I won't play
Refusing to participate in your manipulative games.
The rest of your games
Rejecting involvement in emotional manipulation.
It's better to be alone
Asserting that solitude is preferable.
Then burn bridges too late
Choosing to cut off connections before it's too late.
So burn down my bridges
Reiterating the call for the destruction of connections.
Cuz I can't leave when your foot's in the door
Unable to leave when your influence persists.
So save all the complaining
Requesting to avoid complaints.
Cuz I can't stay when my heart isn't yours
Cannot stay when the emotional connection is severed.
