OneRepublic: Burning Bridges Meaning

Burning Bridges Lyrics

You and I were meant to be
Ain't no doubt about it
No way to hide that sort of thing
Now I’m waiting for something better
Ain't nothing better worth imagining

I, I keep on running
I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted
Look...

   Don't hold onto to the past. Whatever has happened move on and forgive and forget

   Sorry to hear about your sibling. I'm not sure if it's a wasted life. I think he knew what he was doing. Hope he will get well. Is he dying mentally or emotionally? Hope he will be strong and live because being 55 is still young. People nowadays live longer. Hope he set his life on fire.

   It's a breakup song - plain and simple.
   
   In his mind they were meant to be (first paragraph) but now he says he is waiting for something better to come along. But that something is never gonna be as good as this relationship.
   
   He can't walk away so he's asking her to do it for him. "Set me on fire...Will you burn my bridges down?"
