Burnin’ All My Bridges by Melodie Yvonne

I never meant to lose you while I was tryin’ to find myself
I never meant to send you to the arms of someone else
But now what’s done is done and I will never be the same
I’ve set fire to all my bridges so you can’t come back again

Burnin’ all my bridges, settin’ fire to the rain
I’ve got my blowtorch set on high and filled with gasoline

I never meant to hurt you when I kept hurtin’ myself
I never meant to make you think I wanted someone else
But now what’s done is done and I’ve moved on with no regret
Except that I forgot to give you all the heart that I had left

Burnin’ all my bridges, settin’ fire to the rain
I’ve got my blowtorch set on high and filled with gasoline

Douse my bridge with high-octane and set my soul on fire
I rented out my body and my heart is not for hire
I’ll never love again after these things I’ve done to you
And it breaks my heart most every day to know that we are through

I’m burnin’ all my bridges, settin’ fire to the rain
I’ve got my blowtorch set on high and filled with gasoline
Oh yes I’ve got my blowtorch set on high and filled with gasoline
