Ever hear of the expression "Don't burn my bridges"? Ryan is trying to tell his lover that she needs to burn his bridges. To burn someone's bridges is too forget about them. Ryan built bridges, meaning he still might want to come back to her. He is telling her to burn them, because he can't seem to do it himself. It isn't easy for him to forget her, and he"s asking for her help.

"I want you to burn my bridges down Set me on Fire" (make me forget you)
