Lyrics A Loss for Words

A Loss for Words

The Promises You Keep (Burn This Bridge)

There's no soul left in this town anymore

All the makeshift features shuffled out the door

There is no absolute beyond what you know

I would have never believed you a decade ago

Fallen father, you gave us faith

A sweet reminder to carry us on our way

Mother, mother, what did you say?

Keep all the promises you made to yourself

Oh-oooh

I look around at all these faces

I can see they feel the way I do

(Hey hey hey)

But life has this way of making you feel empty on the inside

Like you're running out of time

Fallen father, you gave us faith

A sweet reminder to carry us on our way

Mother, mother, what did you say?

Keep all the promises you made to yourself

What do you see when you close your eyes at night?

Do you ever see me?

Do you ever see me?

I'm still here so where are you now?

Whoa-ohhhhh

Fallen father, you gave us faith

A sweet reminder to carry us on our way

Mother, mother, what did you say?

Keep all the promises you made

I wanna burn every fear I used to have about you

I wanna break every bulb that lit the light above my head

I wanna burn every bridge I crossed just to get near you
