Burn The Bridges Lyrics by Maisie Peters

2017

[Verse 1]
Thought I could love a good guy
Thought we could figure it out
Footsteps on the rosewood
I'd been drowning in a drought
Thought I could teach my eyes to conjure you instead
Of him and all his sherbet sugar words stuck in my head
Lions and tigers in my bed
They all roar, why?
[Chorus]
I can't burn the bridges, burn the bridges
I can't quit
My heart's split in half, it's just no good
He left me stitches but I still recall his digits
Like echoes, I can't let go
I wish to God that I could
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
[Verse 2]
Thought I could be your daydream
Fairy-tale pale pink
Roller-skate past roses that will always reek of him
Princess for you, darling
Think I'm too fucked up
On sherbet lips and circus tricks when I wasn't enough
And he was mine, and now we're done
But still I cry, 'cause I–
[Chorus]
Can't burn the bridges, burn the bridges
I can't quit
My heart's split in half, it's just no good
He left me stitches but I still recall his digits
Like echoes, I can't let go
I wish to God that I could
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
[Bridge]
You want what I can't give
And I wish it weren't true
That at night I dream of him
While I'm sleeping next to you
Lions beside my bed
Whispering all your merits
It's no good
[Chorus]
I can't burn the bridges, burn the bridges
I can't quit
My heart's split in half, it's just no good
He left me stitches but I still recall his digits
Like echoes, I can't let go
I wish to God that I could
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
No
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
B-burn the bridges, burn the bridges
No, ooh
