BURN SOME BRIDGES
Music & Lyrics by James Webb

V1
Again I’m walking out your door,
Heart in my hand, blood on the floor.
Chasing shadows into the night,
Easy to run, much harder to fight.
But soon you’ll waltz back, straight into my heart,
‘Till I believe that you’re the best I’ll ever get.
Time to end this circle dance,
Step out of line, no regret.

CHORUS
But the only way out is to burn some bridges.
Whatever it takes to reach the point of no return.
Explode the myth that I can’t live without you.
Light the fire and watch those bridges burn.

V2
The lie that haunts you can’t be undone.
Look at us now, this mess we’ve become.
Truth and forgiveness, you say ‘No’.
Won’t let me in, won’t let me go.
Now she’s not like you, but I caught her eye,
More open in her loving words and gentle touch.
My heart astride the old and new,
Dreams at my feet turned to dust.

CHORUS
Now the only way out is to burn some bridges.
Whatever it takes to reach the point of no return.
Explode the myth that I can’t live without you.
Light the fire and watch those bridges burn.
