Burning Bridges

Yesterday she thanked me For oiling that front door This morning when she wakes She won't be thankful anymore She'll never know how much I cared Just that I couldn't stay Shell never know the reason why I always run away [Chorus:] Burning bridges One by one What I'm doing Can't be undone And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this running round But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Last night we talked of old times Families and home towns She wondered if we both agree on Where we'd settle down And I told her that we'd cross that bridge Whenever it'd arrive Now through the flames I see her standing On the other side Burning bridges One by one What I'm doing Can't be undone And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this running round But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow Knowing that the day my lessons finally learned I'll be standing at a river Staring out across tomorrow And the bridge I need to get there Will be a bridge that I have burned Burning bridges One by one What I'm doing Can't be undone And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this running round But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Another bridge goes down
