Lyrics Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams

Burning Bridges

Sometimes the best intentions are never truly met

And all your expectations are never what you get

You'll never say why or come up with a reason

You've been weakened by a strain of bad decisions

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Now you've won and you've lost and you won't put up a fight

And I can add you to my list of things that keep me up at night

You're the saddest story that's ever been told

And I stand back and watch as the tragedy unfolds

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

If there ever was a time, it's now, it might not come again

You have to choose which eyes to look through in the end

The loveliest flowers will die in a drought

And your loneliest hours will be worse than you ever thought

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Why you wanna, why you wanna burn bridges

Why you wanna, why you wanna burn this bridge

Why you wanna burn this bridge

Why you wanna burn it down
