Burn This Bridge

Lyrics

{Verse 1: Tate McRae}
You call me when you’re out of luck,
Guess I’m your favorite pick-me-up.
But I’ve got better things to do,
Than clean up all the mess of you.

You think I’m staying, baby, watch me go,
I’m not the one to chase your ghost.
Yeah, I was fire, but you played it wrong,
Now you’re just ashes in my song.

{Pre-Chorus: Tate McRae}
You said I’d never leave,
Guess I broke your prophecy.
Now I’m dancing on the edge of free,
And it feels so good to breathe.

{Chorus: Tate McRae}
I’ll burn this bridge so I can watch you drown,
No second chances, don’t come back around.
You had your shot, now it’s over, babe,
You’re just a lesson I don’t need to save.
So watch me burn, burn, burn this bridge,
Yeah, watch me burn, burn, burn this bridge.

{Drop: Alan Walker}
(Instrumental build with a driving, melodic beat, layered with vocal chops from the chorus: “Burn, burn, burn this bridge.”)

{Verse 2: Tate McRae}
Your promises were made of glass,
I saw them shatter way too fast.
You thought my heart was yours to break,
But honey, I’m the earthquake.

No more late-night phone calls, crying,
No more chasing, no more trying.
I found my strength, and I’m letting go,
Your loss, my glow.

{Pre-Chorus: Tate McRae}
You said I’d never leave,
Guess I broke your prophecy.
Now I’m dancing on the edge of free,
And it feels so good to breathe.

{Chorus: Tate McRae}
I’ll burn this bridge so I can watch you drown,
No second chances, don’t come back around.
You had your shot, now it’s over, babe,
You’re just a lesson I don’t need to save.
So watch me burn, burn, burn this bridge,
Yeah, watch me burn, burn, burn this bridge.

{Drop: Alan Walker}
(A crescendo of synths, beats, and vocal chops: “Burn, burn, burn this bridge.” with an explosive, empowering drop.)

{Bridge: Tate McRae}
It’s not regret, it’s clarity,
Finally found the real me.
No looking back, no love to give,
This is my life, I’ve got to live.

{Final Chorus: Tate McRae}
I’ll burn this bridge so I can watch you drown,
No second chances, don’t come back around.
You had your shot, now it’s over, babe,
You’re just a lesson I don’t need to save.
So watch me burn, burn, burn this bridge,
Yeah, watch me burn, burn, burn this bridge.

{Outro: Alan Walker}
(Fade out with haunting yet uplifting synths, layered with Tate’s echoed vocals: “Burn, burn this bridge.”)
