Bridge
Dawid Podsiadło Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like all that I've learned doesn't matter anymore
Your heart I have broken and left it exposed
I trusted a moment, haven't thought this through
Thousand pieces of our own love, they will never bloom

The other side looked so much better
She was wearing a smile when I met her

This bridge is my own fault
I felt locked in a cage and decided to go
Chasing freedom that I thought I've lost
I just wasn't ready to admit I was wrong
But when I tasted the new world
I found out the cage was a place I belong

All that I've learned doesn't matter anymore
I've gathered your feelings, they're here in my arms
Can you see I have changed, does it even matter to you?
I'm a fool to believe so but it's the last thing I have got

The other side seemed so much better
I wish I hadn't seen the smile when I met her

You told me I should be alone
Hide in a place where it's dark and it's cold
Second chances aren't here no more
I used all of those very long time ago
Now there's only this to say
I miss you everyday

I miss you everyday

Line by Line Meaning

It's like all that I've learned doesn't matter anymore
Despite having learned so much, I am unable to apply it in this situation, making it seem insignificant

Your heart I have broken and left it exposed
I have shattered your heart and left it vulnerable

I trusted a moment, haven't thought this through
I acted on impulse, without considering the consequences

Thousand pieces of our own love, they will never bloom
Our love has broken into numerous, irreparable fragments

The other side looked so much better
I was tempted by the unknown and the illusion of greener pastures

She was wearing a smile when I met her
She appeared to be happier than what I have with you

This bridge is my own fault
I am fully accountable for the divide between us

I felt locked in a cage and decided to go
I felt trapped and suffocated, and chose to leave to attain liberty

Chasing freedom that I thought I've lost
I pursued the idea of freedom that I believed I had lost while in this relationship

I just wasn't ready to admit I was wrong
I was unwilling to confess that I was mistaken in my choices

But when I tasted the new world
When I finally explored this new path I embarked on

I found out the cage was a place I belong
I discovered that being 'caged' was preferable to the unknown

All that I've learned doesn't matter anymore
Despite acquiring knowledge, it no longer holds relevance to my present circumstances

I've gathered your feelings, they're here in my arms
I have collected and hold your emotions, which I can feel

Can you see I have changed, does it even matter to you?
Are you able to perceive that I am different, and if so, does it make a difference to you?

I'm a fool to believe so but it's the last thing I have got
I may appear stupid for having faith in the possibility of things working out, but it is the only hope I have left

You told me I should be alone
You advised me to be single

Hide in a place where it's dark and it's cold
To withdraw and reside in a cold, gloomy space

Second chances aren't here no more
Opportunities for a second try are no longer present

I used all of those very long time ago
I have already exhausted those chances long before

Now there's only this to say
I have nothing else to add, only this

I miss you everyday
I yearn for you daily
