Analysis of Burning bridges



My heart still feels desire
for the warmth of your fire
and im burnin all my bridges
just for you
but our love it lost derection
somewhere in lifes intersection
you went right and left me behind
now i long to hold you tight
and i know that it aint right
but in my mind
this feeling i just cant fight
cause my heart still feels desire
for the warmth of your fire
and im burnin all my bridges
just for you
when i woke up one mornin
feeling all the shame
thought it kinda strange
but i have no one to blame
now that your gone and im alone
but my heart still feels desire
for the warmth of your fire
and im burnin all my bridges
just for you
