Sometimes the best intentions
Are never truly met
And all your expectations
Are never what you get
You'll never say why
Or come up with a reason
You've been weakened by a strain
Of bad decisions
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Now you've won and you've lost
And you won't put up a fight
And I can add you to my list of things
That keep me up at night
You're the saddest story
That's ever been told
And I stand back and watch
As the tragedy unfolds
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
If there ever was a time
It's now
It might not come again
You have to choose which eyes
To look through in the end
The loveliest flowers
Will die in a drought
And your loneliest hours
Will be worse than you ever thought
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Why you wanna
Why you wanna burn bridges
Why you wanna
Why you wanna burn this bridge
Why you wanna burn this bridge
Why you wanna burn it down
Are never truly met
And all your expectations
Are never what you get
You'll never say why
Or come up with a reason
You've been weakened by a strain
Of bad decisions
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Now you've won and you've lost
And you won't put up a fight
And I can add you to my list of things
That keep me up at night
You're the saddest story
That's ever been told
And I stand back and watch
As the tragedy unfolds
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
If there ever was a time
It's now
It might not come again
You have to choose which eyes
To look through in the end
The loveliest flowers
Will die in a drought
And your loneliest hours
Will be worse than you ever thought
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Why you wanna
Why you wanna burn bridges
Why you wanna
Why you wanna burn this bridge
Why you wanna burn this bridge
Why you wanna burn it down
