OneRepublic - Burning Bridges Lyrics






You and I were meant to be
Ain't no doubt about it
No way to hide that sort of thing
Now, I'm waiting for something better
Ain't nothing better worth imagining

I, I keep on running
I'm building bridges that I know you never wanted
Look for my heart
You stole it away
Now, I'll never sing the road that I could take

Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down (down)
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down, down, down

Set me on fire
You set me, set me on fire
You can burn my bridges down

Send this out to sea
Send it where you wanted
You can take your "No" for "No" or "Not at all"
There's no filling up your spaces
With fictionary places
Imaginary faces
They don't work at all

I, I keep on running
I'm building bridges that I know you never wanted
Look for my heart
You stole it away
Now, I'll never sing the road that I could take

Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down (down)
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down, down, down

Set me on fire
You set me, set me on fire
Girl, you burnt my bridges down

I want you to burn my bridges down, down
I want you to burn my bridges down

Set me on fire
You set me, set me on fire
Set me on fire

I want you to burn my bridges down (down)

I said, I want you to burn my bridges down, down, down

Set me on fire
Set me on fire

    This is a cute man here, we should hail him!!! He´s actually Ryan Gosling!! Cutsie, I love you!!! // Jenny

  40. J.... ....

    Wow, this is so great, that you all do this so much!! Great pretence!! We can´t have it, cuz I´ve got so much of it!!! WOW THAT´S GREAT!! It sounds so strange, you know what, we don´t at all believe you!! You need to stop this now!! It was a preface to an enormous attack about your psyche!! If you´re good or not!! And you weren´t good enough, can you believe it??!! So what I´m talking about is the snobbish behaviour towards other people, that I´m talking about so much when I sleep!! So you´ve got so much of the hanging out time, with so many different people, that you´re so happy about it, BUT YOU DON´T EVEN SPEAK DO YOU??!! You run it on a very strange looking stencil even!! What is that all about??? PLEASE STOP THAT, IT LOOKS FUCK!! STOP IT NOW!!! You can´t just fake the hanging out space, can you, and say that incessant speaking looks anything like our hang out time, as the light ones, yikes, come on dude!!! What do you all talk about too, that noone listens the least to??!! We can´t stand it any more, and are starting to think about harming on it HARD!!! Stencils don´t contain regular normal people, they just contain people with three sets of genitals, looking like dogs and schwines, coming from slum backgrounds and all!! You space it for the insides so that you know that!! We don´t buy it!! It was something else when Maddie came into power, and talked like a mashine that one, and everything else burst out in flames around her!! That was her time then!! She didn´t have to come with so much, but that was ok!! It was real at least!! But it was spaced like a company, a regular three builder company too, with lots of customers... which it didn´t off course check out so much, but envied none the less, they were freer than that one!! They didn´t have anything, the customers, as a company at least, as company dinners, company outings, store-checking set ins in different towns and vicinities, OH CRUSH ME NOW!!! I CAN´T STAND IT!! S She was so OVER ALL GOOD!! Couldn´t compare at all!! And everything was snatched from me, to be used by her!! Oh Maddie, you suck, I can´t stand it!! Go burn your bridges now Maddie, I´ll check that it gets done regularly, as you don´t ever burn any bridges in the good-industry, do you??!! I´ll do it for you!! I´m good at that!! To sepparate myself from people when it´s over, so that I´ll get someone new in!! Otherwise I won´t get anyone new in, on a forever contract!! Say "Hey go fuck yourself, I don´t like you any more, I can´t stand you here, you need to rot now!!" Well, no, maybe not! Do you know what I mean?? If you´ve got someone who testies you down, do you always keep it then??? Damn you if you do!! Then I don´t get to come here!! I can´t do that and survive here, keep holding on to my moldy tissue who used to be my fairly good friends, but went askew over babies, and tragedy with a grill!! Oh come on, don´t do that!!! That´s to boring that, isn´t it!! I went on, and had fun at it!! It was great too, not just lonely, at all, I met some new people, and kept my humour around... still laughing!!! Baby went query, why is that??? Think it out!! Burning bridges is GOOD FOR YOU, but NOT IN A RUDE WAY!! You need to do it thurrowly too, and in a nice way, much nicer than what you think!! Who cares about being left, or about failing at keeping a relationship going for two life times, or a friendship, they come and go according to hormone levels, and what you need to do with the other person with them!! You need to be clued up with the body core much more, so that you don´t lock yourselves up like this, and can´t move on when it´s moldy and ugly!! Sometimes someone´s childhood catches up to them in the age of 25 and forward, and just ruins everything for the person then!! You are NOT OBLIGED TO STAY THERE THEN AS THE OTHER PERSON, AT ALL EVEN!! You need to say to your friend, or "lover" that you detect problems in it, and that it might want to go and check it with a therapist, better go soon than go later, and no matter the threat the therapist makes to you, the threat is BIGGER from the one who´s done the harm from the beginning!! It´s a RUDE ASS and needs to be hindered here!! You need to point it out, on the surface, or under, so that you don´t get seated with the person, it´s not gonna be nice to you, as it´s going into withdrawal phase on the inside, from childhood shock, and gonna leave you all around here!! This is NOT good for you to endure with a friend, or a "lover", it´s very pessimistic then, your undergarn!! You can help it out to find it, the releif it needs, space yourself a bit away from it, and see what happens!! It can make you drowsy with GRIEF, as it´s very untollerant to other people in it´s tainting on the inside, and you NEED TO GO AWAY!! It´s quite common right now, that people are harmed since childhood, and can´t make it work before they cleansed it out!! I had a psychosis, on an airplane, manufactured by Evil people, where I was screaming my lungs out, no one reacted straight away, everyone smiled and laughed at the big ridgider to go down like this!! Then someone came, as I had placed a helping hand there myself, but I got to see the quality of the people before I called on it, the helping hand!! It sat next to me, and told me it would be all right, but only if I went to see a psychologist, went to school and got something steady on my feet about freshness, went travelling to find the fault here, and so on and so forth!! It told me not to go to my parents when I came home, but call my friend instead, it could see my friend Reza on the inside, that he cared a lot about me, and that he would let me stay with him for as long as I needed!! So I called him when I landed, and got to stay with him for 2 months, oh no, in regards to blackie, which is fixated, it was only 11 to 31, to 30, when it happened, so it was only just 50 days, not 60!! Cram declaration by Blackie!! Only 50 days yeah, why do you lie like that??!! Oh poor blackie, didn´t get so much recall from it´s childhood, don´t know what to do here then!! It´s the same Blackie, don´t worry about it!!! YEAH RIGHT, IT´S ONLY ABOUT FANCY HERE!!!! So it all went well with the psychosis, bad trait that one, not so happy, but we had it, the light ones, one each, that´s why we´re so fresh now, and we could use it to clean out with!! Take care, be good and burn your bridges with unwanted moldy people now!!! They don´t suck, they REEK IN YOUR EXISTANCE IF YOU KEEP THEM THERE!!! DON´T KEEP THEM!!! GET RID OF THEM, NOW TOO!!! THEY ARE UNHAPPY MAKERS, AND YOU ONLY LIVE ON MEMORIES THEN!! OTHERWISE YOU GO AND CREATE NEW!!! DO THAT NOW!!!! Cheers Jenny

    J.... ....

    Collecting people, like on Facebook, is the naivest thing you can ever do!! Then you have a regular hook on with everyone there, and they are toxic for you if they are not happy here!! Just keep to an ever crowd of friendsome people for you please, otherwise we don´t have hang out space at all!! As we are tainted by cords in the energy form much, they are dangerous here, so you need to cut them off if you can, if they feed you negativity!! Just talk to the person and explain your situation, sometimes it´s not so happy if you are living in a group that hangs out a lot!! It holds you BACK WITH DIRTY PEOPLE THOUGH!! See what the person wants to do with you on the energy level, hold you firm and be nice to you, ahhh, so nice of my husband to be like that!! Or kick your ass blue and black!! You need to get rid of the ass kickers please, EVERYONE IN THE DOGG RACE!!! THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW!!! CHEERS JENNY, I CAN COME THEN!! THANK YOU!!!

    J.... ....

    It should be saying "Just keep to an EVEN crowd of friendsome people for you please, otherwise you don´t have hang out space at all!!! Universe comes and writes too... or Cosmos... // Jenny

    J.... ....

    The ass kickers in your crowd don´t want me to come otherwise, if you don´t kick them out, and decide for yourself!!! //J

    Girl you burnt my bridges down
    I want you to burn my bridges down, down
    I want you to burn my bridges down
    Set me on fire
    You set me
    Set me on fire

    [Verse 1]
    You and I were meant to be
    Ain't no doubt about it
    No way to hide that sort of thing
    Now I’m waiting for something better
    Ain’t nothing better worth imagining

    [Pre-Chorus]
    I, I keep on running
    I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted
    Look for my heart
    You stole it away
    Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take

    [Chorus]
    Listen, I
    Want you to burn my bridges down, down
    I said I
    Want you to burn my bridges down, down, down
    Set me on fire
    You set me
    Set me on fire
    You can burn my bridges down

    [Verse 2]
    Send this out to sea
    You send it where you wanted
    You can take your no for no or not at all
    There’s no filling up your spaces with fictionary places
    Imaginary faces they don’t work at all


    [Pre-Chorus]
    I, I keep on running
    I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted
    Look for my heart
    You stole it away
    Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take

    [Chorus]
    Listen, I
    Want you to burn my bridges down, down
    I said I
    Want you to burn my bridges down, down, down
    Set me on fire
    You set me
    Set me on fire
    Yeah you burn my bridges down

    [Outro]
    I want you to burn my bridges down, down
    I want you to burn my bridges down
    Set me on fire
    You set me
    Set me on fire, set me on fire
    Set me on fire
    I want you to burn my bridges down (down)
    I said, I want you to burn my bridges down, down, down
    Set me on fire, set me on fire
