Verse 1

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 

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 runnin' around 
But every time the chance comes up
Another bridge goes down  

Verse 2

last night we talked of old times families & home towns
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 thru the flames I see her standin on the other side

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 runnin' around 
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 finaly learned 
I'll be standin at a river staring 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 doing 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
