I let you tell me what to do
I let you tell me what to say
It was the only way I knew
And at the time it was OK
I let you get under my skin
I thought you were my soul mate
It was my heart I traded in
And now it's time
To get things straight
I gave you permission
To treat me the way you did
I gave you permission
And now I'm withdrawing it
I am burning the bridges
I am turning the pages
That picture of us
Is now in the past
I set us on fire
I am burning the bridges
I am turning the pages
I need no more lies
I am cutting the ties
I set us on fire!
For you I was a pretty doll
For me you were my whole world
You were so strong, you were so wise
I felt like being in paradise
I trusted me in your good hands
But you have had your own plans
I've been a willing volunteer
Of underhanded puppeteer
I gave you permission
To treat me the way you did
I gave you permission
And now I'm withdrawing it
I am burning the bridges
I am turning the pages
That picture of us
Is now in the past
I set us on fire
I am burning the bridges
I am turning the pages
I need no more lies
I am cutting the ties
I set us on fire!
