Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember when we'd share our lunch behind the gym
Trading secrets like they didn't matter then
I thought I knew exactly who you were back when
Just two kids making plans, again and again
[Pre-chorus 1]
But time reveals the truth we try to hide
Those promises you made began to slide
The words you spoke behind my back took flight
Like paper planes they crashed and died
[Chorus]
Your words were matches
My bridges burned
The smoke still rises
From lessons learned
(From lessons learned)
[Verse 2 - Spanish]
Confiaba en ti como en nadie más
Compartimos risas, sueños y algo más
Pero el tiempo muestra la realidad
Las mentiras duelen más que la verdad
[Pre-chorus 2]
Now every memory feels like broken glass
The friendship that we built just couldn't last
I see the way you changed your colors fast
While I held on to a fading past
[Chorus]
Your words were matches
My bridges burned
The smoke still rises
From lessons learned
(From lessons learned)
[Bridge]
I won't let your betrayal define
Everything I've become with time
The ashes you left behind
Became the strength I had to find
And though the fire left its mark
I've learned to trust again, to start
Sometimes the bridges that we burn
Light the way for us to learn
[Chorus - Final]
Your words were matches
My bridges burned
But from the ashes
I've finally learned
(I've finally learned)
[Outro]
Now I'm standing stronger than before
On the other side of what you swore
The bridge may be gone, but I can soar
(I can soar)
