Burning Bridges

We’ve been burning bridges, baby,
since before we could strike a match.
But our candle’s been blazing, honey,
and it’s starting to sizzle out.

I don’t think this glow will last ‘til light.
Burn the bridges as you go, set fire to the night.
I’m sorry for the way things are,
I’m sorry for the way I’m leaving this.

Don’t forget about me when I’m gone, my dear.
I have to leave you in this world of fear.
Be strong while I’m away, my love.
Know that I am watching from above.

I don’t think this glow will last ‘til light.
Burn the bridges as you go, set fire to the night.
I’m sorry for the way things are,
I’m sorry for the way I’m leaving this.

Life will go on, your love will lead on.
Put down the lantern, the match, the candle.
Put out the fire, the flame, the flare.
Remember me fondly, my sweet little dove.

We burned the road home together,
but I’ll take the punishment as one.

I don’t think our glow will last ‘til light.
Burn the bridges, make the fire last all night.
If I could change the way things are,
I know I would, so I didn’t have to leave you like this.
