Ashes

You burn your bridges down
Till they're ashes in the lake

I lie awake
Did you wonder what's at stake?
With you there is no give and take
Just fake

The things that you could make
But instead I watch you break
And burn your bridges down
Till they're ashes in the lake
You burn your bridges down
Till they're ashes in the lake

Reduced everything to rubble
You know you're seeing double
If it isn't any trouble
May I ask why such the struggle?
Grab your keys it's that kind of day
What's on your mind when you hit the freeway?

I lie awake
Did you wonder what's at stake?
With you there is no give and take
Just fake

The things that you could make
But instead I watch you break
And burn your bridges down
Till they're ashes in the lake

On the bank
Sift through the ashes in the stream
I don't know how you extinguished all the life inside your dreams
Look around to find what's left of your esteem
You didn't have to set a blaze all you had to do was think
You didn't have to set a blaze all you had to do was think

I lie awake
Did you wonder what's at stake?
With you there is no give and take
Just fake

The things that you could make
But instead I watch you break
And burn your bridges down
Till they're ashes in the lake
You burned your bridges down
Now they're ashes in the lake
