I could tell you the truth
But you'd call me a liar (liar, li-liar)
Tried to wave a white flag
But you set it on fire (fire)

(And that's when you start asking yourself why)
You cry, they don't
Every single night
That's how you know

That you gotta let it go
Sometimes, you just can't fix it
You love somebody, love somebody
But you gotta let 'em go
Before you go down with them
Can't love somebody who loves burnin' bridges

Burnin' bridges

I used sorry to keep you
And that was my error (error, my error)
Ooh, 'cause I tore me apart
Tryna hold us together (together)

(And that's when you start asking yourself why)
You cry, they don't
Every single night
That's how you know

That you gotta let it go
Sometimes, you just can't fix it
You love somebody, love somebody
But you gotta let them go
Before you go down with them
Can't love somebody who loves burnin' bridges

You cry, they don't
That's how you know
You cry, they don't
That's how you know

You gotta let it go, oh, oh
Sometimes, you just can't fix it
You love somebody, love somebody
But you gotta let 'em go
Before you go down with them
Can't love somebody who loves burnin' bridges

You cry, they don't (oh)
That's how you know
You cry, they don't
That's how you know
