Verse (as before) 
===== 
A lifestyle with no simplicities 
But I'm not asking for your sympathy  
Talk, we never could talk, distanced by all that was between us 

Chorus (as before) 
====== 
A lord of the backstage, a creature of language 
I'm so far out and I'm too far in 
I just wanted you to be the first one 
I just wanted you to be the first one 
Bridges are burning, burning 
Bridges are burning, burning
