"Bridges" lyrics

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
In 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 it 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 you peace
'Cause I took all that you are
Oh, I took all that you are
(Ohhh, ohh)

Never would've 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 you hand
Then have you pull away from me
Wasn't man enough to break the chains
So I loosened up our links
There's a boat that's filled with holes
Really care what made it sink?

If you gave me the world
You still would have it 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 you 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've been on my knees
You're better of the further you are from me

'Cause I like my bridges burned
'Cause I like my bridges burned
