Yesterday she thanked me |
|
For oilin' 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 |
|
And I'll never know the reason |
|
Why I always run away |
|
Burning bridges one by one |
|
What I'm doin' can't be undone |
|
And I'm always hoping someday |
|
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around |
|
But every time the chance comes up |
|
Another bridge goes down |
|
Last night we talked of old times |
|
Families and home towns |
|
Whe 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 |
|
Burning bridges one by one |
|
What I'm doin' can't be undone |
|
And I'm always hoping someday |
|
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around |
|
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 lesson's 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 doin' can't be undone |
|
And I'm always hoping someday |
|
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around |
|
But every time the chance comes up |
|
Another bridge goes down |
|
Another bridge goes down |
