[Verse]

We met and it was simple

I had it all and you were the one

That would make it all okay

You made me feel so different

We had each other night after night

All my troubles went away

But of course, it's just not the same

We try to hold too tightly, everything's gonna change, oh

Make the rules and it's just a game


[Chorus]

I can't stop burning bridges

I'll win you over, make you my own

And then we'll both feel different

You can't possibly give what I want from you

I know I said you were perfect

I made the rules that you didn't know

All of these expectations

You can't possibly give what I want from you


[Verse]

So now I treat you different

I made a list of all that I need

And I left it up to you

I treat you like a stranger

And talk to strangers like they know me

It's your fault for all I do

As if you don't suffer too

I tied up all our shit into something that we can't undo, oh

These are the rules I should follow, too


[Chorus]

I can't stop burning bridges

I'll win you over, make you my own

And then we'll both feel different

You can't possibly give what I want from you

I know I said you were perfect

I made the rules that you didn't know

All of these expectations

You can't possibly give what I want from you


[Bridge]

Oh, it's all my fault

Never meant to be so unkind

I don't listen when you talk, oh

And what it comes down to is

I'm just afraid to lose something that shouldn't be mine, oh


[Chorus]

I can't stop burning bridges

I'll win you over, make you my own

And then we'll both feel different

You can't possibly give what I want from you

I know I said you were perfect

I made the rules that you didn't know

All of these expectations

You can't possibly give what I want from you


[Outro]

You can't possibly give what I want from you

You can't possibly give what I want from you
