Burning Bridges

(album: Bone Against Steel - 1991)

You haven't changed much
From the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge
That burned between you and I
I've avoided nostalgia ignored the sentimental
Tried to cut myself off from much of the past
All that macho and all that bravado
Makes me wanna laugh makes me wanna laugh
We do what it takes to keep on pushing
We do what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make you wonder

[Chorus I]
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges burning bridges

I've made some adjustments
Worked out some problems
Nearly drove myself crazy with things I can't change
But all that's history little darling
And it's good to see you smile
Just good to see you smile again
You got what it takes to keep on pushing
You got what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make me wonder

[Chorus II]
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges
Why'd we wanna cry such a river
Why'd we wanna swim that distant shores
There ain't nothing to see in the light
Of burning bridges

I'm thinking that we could start over
But rebuilding bridges takes time
Time to heal time to forgive
Let live and forget

You haven't changed much from the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge so much water

[Chorus II]

Burning bridges burning bridges burning bridges
