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 than 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
