Burning Bridges

Friends all tried to warn me, but I held my head up high.

All the time they warned me, but I only passed them by.

They all tried to tell me, but I guess I didn't care.

I turned my back and left them standing there.

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me;

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories;

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door -

Burning bridges lost forevermore.

Joey tried to help me find a job a while ago.

When I finally got it, I didn't want to go.

The party Mary gave for me when I just walked away ...

Now there's nothing left for me to say.

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me;

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories;

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door -

Burning bridges lost forevermore.

Years have passed and I keep thinking what a fool I've been.

I look back into the past and think of way back then.

I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win.

I guess I should have listened to my friends.

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me;

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories;

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door -

Burning bridges lost forevermore.

Burning bridges lost forevermore!
