Thoughts I'd better hide
Have put me off my stride.
Bridges burning bright
I'm walling up inside.
Every move in life
Like a racing dive.
Picking the best pieces out of it
Priding myself on what I did.
But..
I did it all for myself.
Pieces of advise
I made my sacrifice.
Feeling came along
What I heard was wrong.
Every love I gave
Bought another slave.
I'm not gonna candycoat
Every single song I wrote.
I did it all for myself.
The love I gave
The songs I wrote
And every note.
Have put me off my stride.
Bridges burning bright
I'm walling up inside.
Every move in life
Like a racing dive.
Picking the best pieces out of it
Priding myself on what I did.
But..
I did it all for myself.
Pieces of advise
I made my sacrifice.
Feeling came along
What I heard was wrong.
Every love I gave
Bought another slave.
I'm not gonna candycoat
Every single song I wrote.
I did it all for myself.
The love I gave
The songs I wrote
And every note.
