THE BRIDGE I CAN’T BURN

[Verse 1]
I found a bridge down by the water,
Old and rusted, just like me.
Yeah, I found a bridge down by the water,
Where the wind howls through the trees.
It’s where I left your name behind me,
But your ghost just won’t let me be.

[Verse 2]
I tried to light that timber,
With every tear and match I had.
Yes, I tried to light that timber,
But the fire wouldn’t catch the past.
Some things you walk away from,
But some things, baby, always last.

[Chorus]
It’s the bridge I can’t burn,
No matter how I try.
Every step I take away from you,
That bridge still meets my eye.
I got ashes in my pocket,
But that bridge just won’t die.

[Verse 3]
You stood there like an angel,
Or maybe just a sin.
Yeah, you stood there like a question
That keeps pullin’ me back in.
I crossed that bridge to lose you,
But I cross it back again.

[Chorus]
It’s the bridge I can’t burn,
No matter how I try.
Every step I take away from you,
That bridge still meets my eye.
I got ashes in my pocket,
But that bridge just won’t die.

[Chorus — tag last line]
It’s the bridge I can’t burn… no, it just won’t die.
