Lyrics:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Another bridge goes down
