I just wanted you to be the first one
I just wanted you to be the first one
Ashes are burning, burning
Ashes are burning, burning

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
