Burning Bridges

[Verse 1]

Yesterday she thanked me for oilin' that front door

This mornin' when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore

She'll never know how much I cared, just that I couldn't stay

And I'll never know the reason why I always run away

[Chorus]

Burning bridges, one by one

What I'm doin' can't be undone

And I'm always hopin' someday

I'm gonna stop this runnin' 'round

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down

[Verse 2]

Last night we talked of old times, families and hometowns

She wondered if we'd both agree on where we'd settle down

And I told her that we'd cross that bridge whenever it arrived

Now through the flames, I see her standin' on the other side

[Chorus]

Burning bridges, one by one

What I'm doin', can't be undone

And I'm always hopin' someday

I'm gonna stop this runnin' 'round

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down

[Bridge]

Like ashes on the water, I drift away in sorrow

Knowing that the day my lesson's finally learned

I'll be standin' at a river, starin' out across tomorrow

And the bridge I need to get there will be a bridge that I have burned

[Chorus]

Burning bridges, one by one

What I'm doin', can't be undone

And I'm always hopin' someday

I'm gonna stop this runnin' 'round

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down

[Outro]

Another bridge goes down
