Bridges

It was so damn dark In my head when I first saw you Smoothing out all my barbs Said "careful you'll start bleeding" You told me "they're not that sharp" That you've done your share of weeping And you know a thing about healing Now there's just barren land And a winter that never leaves where our young souls danced You didn't know we were losing shade And how our future was laced If you gave me the world You still would have been faced with worse 'cause I like my bridges burned You've always liked them over water Now you're stranded on the beach Miles away from any harbor I'm the storm after the turn You're the sun before it started So good luck go find your peace 'cause I took all that you are, oh I took all that you are We never would have made it far I had one foot out our picture ready to rip it apart I was taught that all that's given becomes something you grieve So I'd rather drop your hand then have you pull away from me Wasn't man enough to break the chain So I loosened up our links Does a boat that's filled with holes Really care what made it sink? If you gave me the world You still would have been faced with worse 'cause I like my bridges burned You've always liked them over water Now you're stranded on the beach Miles away from any harbor I'm the storm after the turn You're the sun before it started So good luck go find your peace 'cause I took all that you are, oh I took all that you are I don't sleep 'cause it's you that I see Reminded of the tears strolling your cheeks That I'm the reason we didn't reach our peak I'm falling down and it's so hard to breathe Choking on bullets that I bit on my knees You're better off the further you are from me 'cause I like my bridges burned 'cause I like my bridges burned
