Burning Bridges

I won't pretend to understand you
I was raised a different way
I was trying to find common ground
Well the ground just fell away
I'm not sorry I'm not sorry
I'm not mad that you are mad
And I don't want to start on it again

It's hard not burning bridges
When the whole world's on fire

I am looking for forgiveness
I believe there can be grace
But I bury my apologies and hide behind that faith
I've been spending time in silence trying not to raise my voice
There's so much being said these days
I'd just be making noise

It's hard not burning bridges
When the whole world's on fire

I'm tired of not knowing what to say
I'm tired of being in my own way
And what do I really think I'd gain?
Just to get some point across
Just to feel a little less lost

There's an ache inside my fingers
Feels like it won't end
If my body can betray me
Maybe anybody can
Maybe everyone has violence
Waiting in their veins
It sleeps like a volcano
And then rises up in pain

It's hard not burning bridges
It's hard not burning bridges
It's hard not burning bridges
When the whole world's on fire
