Burning Bridges - Garth Brooks

BURNING BRIDGES - Garth Brooks


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
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 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
