# BURNT BRIDGES

  5. [Intro]
  6. Yeah...
  7. Smoke still hanging in the air,
  8. But I ain’t looking back.
  9.  
  10. [Verse 1]
  11. I burned bridges just to see who would swim through the flame,
  12. Found out half of my circle only loved me by name,
  13. They was close when I struggled, disappeared when I changed,
  14. Now the silence hit different when you know who to blame.
  15. I gave loyalty freely, got betrayal in trade,
  16. Put my trust in some hands that was sharpening blades,
  17. Every promise turned dust, every memory decayed,
  18. So I stopped chasing people who was walking away.
  19. Late nights with the rain tapping hard on the glass,
  20. Thinking how something real could get buried so fast,
  21. I was holding onto pictures, tryna live in the past,
  22. But a wound never closes if you keep pulling it back.
  23. Now I move with a distance, keep my heart under lock,
  24. Had to learn every friend ain’t supposed to stay close,
  25. Some people only love you when you’re giving them hope,
  26. Then they leave when you’re drowning and pretend they don’t know.
  27.  
  28. [Hook]
  29. Burnt bridges, black smoke, nothing left to repair,
  30. I was calling your name, you were never right there,
  31. Now I walk through the ashes like I’m learning to breathe,
  32. Had to lose what I loved just to finally be free.
  33. Burnt bridges, no road taking me to the past,
  34. If it broke once before, I won’t rebuild it with glass,
  35. I forgive, but forgiveness don’t mean you can return,
  36. Some bridges stay broken, some bridges gotta burn.
  37.  
  38. [Verse 2]
  39. I remember every lie that was dressed like the truth,
  40. Every “I got your back” that disappeared when I’d lose,
  41. Every night I blamed myself for the things you would do,
  42. Till I finally understood I had something to prove—
  43. Not to you, not to them, only me in the mirror,
  44. Had to cut through the noise just to see myself clearer,
  45. Pain made the road cold but the purpose got nearer,
  46. Now the future look bright even if nobody’s here.
  47. I don’t carry no hatred, that weight too heavy,
  48. I just carry the lessons, keep my mind real steady,
  49. Used to beg for connection, now I’m cool if you let me,
  50. Walk alone through the storm if the road ain’t ready.
  51. There’s a peace in goodbye that I never could see,
  52. There’s a strength in admitting what ain’t meant to be,
  53. So if smoke fills the sky from the bridges behind,
  54. I’ll keep walking ahead till the fire leaves my mind.
  55.  
  56. [Outro]
  57. No rebuilding...
  58. No turning back...
  59. Ashes in the wind,
  60. Peace in my chest.
  61. Let it burn.
