I saw the man and started floating
he was what I dreamed of that night
he smiled at me I didn't know him
but I knew that he had what I liked

don't waste your breath
by talking to me, be quiet
don't bring me home
take me to a place
where we can be alone

I've burned down my bridges
realised I can't go back
I know how it feels to be beaten
and I'm too weak to fight back

I left the man who loved me
gave up everything I had
I tell everyone that I'm happy
but they can't tell that I just pretend

I hide my bruises
realise I'm loosing again
it's too late
all I can do is try
try to forget

I've burned down my bridges
realised I can't go back
I know how it feels to be beaten
and I'm too weak to fight back

I burned
I burned
I burned

I burned down my bridges
