Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's little time left here for saving face
We tried to put a bandage on these years
I know this isn't what you want to hear
You can say what you like
Pass the blame, I don't mind
Because we both lit the match that burned the bridge
We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down
Yeah, yeah, oh oh
I've come and grown this broken load of gold
What slipped through the cracks
I fear we'll never know
I walk you through the graveyard of my mind
Show you a love
That I buried alive
'Cause we both walked away
Who was wrong? Whose to say?
You can say what you like
Pass the blame, I don't mind
Because we both lit the match that burned the bridge
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down
Yeah down
Yeah oh down
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down
Yeah, yeah, oh oh
Yeah, yeah, oh oh
Yeah, yeah, oh oh
The song "Bridges" by Lifehouse is a reflection of a failed relationship presenting themes of regret, guilt, and the loss of love. The lyrics express sadness for the relationship crumbling and an understanding that they both played a part in its collapse. The first verse acknowledges the past attempts to fix the brokenness between the two people but ultimately it was futile in preventing the inevitable end. The chorus shows mutual culpability in the relationship's downfall, with both of them lighting the metaphorical match that ultimately destroyed any potential to reconcile.
The second verse begins with the realization that there is no way to recover what was lost in the relationship. The singer resents the fact that some things are just not recoverable that slipped away between them. He then takes her through the memory lane of his love, a love that he buried alive. The final chorus reinforces the fact that both of them were to blame as they both participated in the actions leading to the downfall of the relationship.
This song is an emotional lament of a relationship that never quite panned out. The two of them made mistakes, and as a result, they ultimately burned the bridges of what could have been a great relationship. The song elicits feelings of understanding, mourning, and regret.
