Burning Bridges

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 [bad word] away.

 [bad word] 
Burning bridges one by one
What I’m doin’ can’t be undone
And I’m always hoping someday
I’m gonna stop [bad word]  around
But every time the [bad word] up
Another bridge goes down.

Last night we talked of old times
Families and home towns
Whe 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

 [bad word] 
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.

 [bad word] 
Another bridge goes down
