Some Bridges Don't Burn

I got scared

So I did the only thing I've ever done

I pulled up stakes and tucked my tail and run

I got too close

Felt the weight of forever on my heart

It's best to cut it loose before it starts

Oh, that was the easy part

I struck a match, threw it over my shoulder

It ain't ever gonna work, I told her

We were dead and gone as far as I was concerned

After the pain and the flames and the smoke cleared

I looked around and she was still right here

That's a cold hard lesson you have to learn

That some bridges don't burn

I oughta know

How to leave a love in a pile of ashes

'Cause there are scattered embers all along my past

But this ain't the same

'Cause there's a piece of her left branded on my soul

And I hate that part of me that can't let go

Oh, even though

I struck a match, threw it over my shoulder

It ain't ever gonna work, I told her

We were dead and gone as far as I was concerned

After the pain and the flames and the smoke cleared

I looked around and she was still right here

That's a cold hard lesson you have to learn

That some bridges don't burn

I struck a match, threw it over my shoulder

It ain't ever gonna work, I told her

We were dead and gone as far as I was concerned

After the pain and the flames and the smoke cleared

I looked around and she was still right here

That's a cold hard lesson you have to learn

That some bridges don't burn

That some bridges don't burn

Some bridges don't burn
