When I go
You will be someone new
You will see the stars come out
You won't feel the pain I've caused at all
Cause someday I must face up someday
You'll be better off on your own
So just let me go
Under the bridge
I'll carry this guilt no more
So under the waves
And out of your way I'll go
When I'm gone
You will find someone new
And he won't lie or torture you
You won't cry for what you've lost at all
And someday, when you wake up happy
You will thank the Lord that I'm gone
So darling, be strong
I'm Under the bridge
I'll bear with this guilt forever more
So under the waves
And out of your way I'll go
You will be someone new
You will see the stars come out
You won't feel the pain I've caused at all
Cause someday I must face up someday
You'll be better off on your own
So just let me go
Under the bridge
I'll carry this guilt no more
So under the waves
And out of your way I'll go
When I'm gone
You will find someone new
And he won't lie or torture you
You won't cry for what you've lost at all
And someday, when you wake up happy
You will thank the Lord that I'm gone
So darling, be strong
I'm Under the bridge
I'll bear with this guilt forever more
So under the waves
And out of your way I'll go

Empirically speaking, he wants to get out of the way of someone he really cares for but has hurt a lot. By committing suicide out of guilt, which is a very romantic/tragic theatrical way to go. The bridge symbol is a common occurrence in their lyrics.
