Burning Bridges
Status Quo Lyrics

Building dreams has always been my way
I've always been someone who is driven to create and fulfill their dreams

Making time and living for the day
I prioritize making the most of each day and living in the present moment

Burning bridges never made me cry
I've never regretted completely cutting ties with someone or something in my life

I could walk away with no goodbye
It's easy for me to leave people and situations behind without much warning or explanation

Easy take or easy leave them all
I can either take on something easily or leave it behind without much thought

'Til you scratch the writing on the wall
Until it becomes clear that something isn't working out and I need to make a change

It's on and off and on again
My life is full of ups and downs, with constant changes and fluctuations

Going on and then
Things are always moving forward, even if it's not always in a linear way

Taking all I got again
Life is constantly demanding more of me, and I'm always pushing myself to keep up

Bleeding me leaving me dry
This constant effort can sometimes drain me and leave me feeling exhausted

You're hanging on for what you can
Others in my life often try to cling to me and take what they can get, even if it's not healthy for either of us

Dragging out the pain
This can lead to painful and drawn-out situations that are hard to resolve

Taking all I give again
No matter how much I try to distance myself or set boundaries, others in my life often take advantage of me

Fakin' it making me cry
This can be emotionally exhausting and painful for me, as I try to keep up a front and hide my true feelings

One day someday I may slide away
At some point in the future, I may decide to walk away from it all and start anew

Turn around and call it all a day
I may decide to give up and walk away from everything I've been working towards

Even though I fooled myself for years
Despite all my effort and determination, I may come to realize that I've been deceiving myself all along

I can't escape this ringing in my ears
No matter what I do or where I go, I can't shake this sense of unease and dissatisfaction
