Burnin' Bridges
Jessie James Lyrics

Spotlights have a funny glow, They can keep you warm Or they can make you go crazy. Always gotta be the show, So you never know what it's like being in the crowd.
Spotlights are attention grabbers and they serve a dual purpose; they have a bright aura that can captivate you, and they can be your undoing in equal measure. When you are always in the spotlight, you tend to lose touch with the reality of being part of the audience.

Lately I'm hearing people say you're a runaway, And somebodys got to bring you back to reality. Help you see the things that might you have been looking past.
People have tagged you a rebellious character and need to be guided into understanding the important things in life that you have been missing.

I ain't burnin' bridges, I'm trying to mend them. I apologize if I ever hurt your feelings, Got my own convictions, and I've got to live them. I ain't burnin' bridges, that ain't my intention.
He is trying to repair any strained relationship he has with people and make peace. He is sorry if he ever wronged anyone, but he has a moral stance that he cannot compromise, and he is not looking to jettison any relationship.

Ain't got nothing to hide, Yeah I'm good with God, So lets make it like water. You and I wouldn't wanna see the girl I'd be, If I wouldn't have turned you down Showed me so many things, but the best would be never ever roll over. Stand up for what I believe and eventually everyone will come back around.
He has nothing to hide from anyone, and he is right with his creator. He believes in his ability to let things flow like water, hence, he declines things that do not match his character. He understands the choices he made, and he would not want to become someone else's puppet. Instead, he'll stand his ground and walk out of anything that does not align with his conviction. Eventually, people would come to accept him.

Always three sides to every story, There's yours and there's mine. But we've been ignoring, The truth it hides Behind a clear disguise.
Every story has three parts; their side, your side, and the truth. But, they have been avoiding the truth that's lying right in front of them, hiding behind a mask.

I ain't burnin' bridges, I'm trying to mend them. I apologize if I ever hurt your feelings, Got my own convictions and I've got to live them. I ain't burnin' bridges, that ain't my intention.
He is trying to ameliorate any hostile feelings between him and others, and he is ready to say sorry whenever he hurts others. His beliefs form his decisions, and he will not change that. He is neither looking to create chaos nor destroy connections.
