I’m uncomfortable with myself,
And your put-downs just do not help.
The outcome is I feel like shit.
Don’t you know when to quit?
And I am not doing alright...
I always end up feeling bad.
So why don't you get off my back?
If I knew that this is what friends were for, I’d never made any.
None of this makes sense,
They don't support me because they're too busy judging.
It’s all so unimportant.
It makes me feel sorry for them.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.
(chorus)
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
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
*chorus*
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.
*chorus*
Another bridge goes down
