I burned your bridge down tonight
Wood fallen to ashes, paint faded to gray
I burned its beauty down tonight
Because if it stays, I will walk down it
And find my way back to you

Once a figure of strength and hope
Standing tall, touching the clouds and invisible heaven
Splinters would get into my feet now and then
And my hands would run down the rough railing
To steady myself as I made my way to your home

Then you cheated life
You cheated me
And began to break your bridge
That bridge I built for you
To cross whenever you wanted
The bridge painted red
And held up over the brook
You began to tear it down
And pull it apart nail by nail
So I could never see you again

Slowly, you slipped from me
Like the dewdrops off the bridge
You faded from my arms and floated away
And all I was left with was your bridge
Red, wet, weaker
A sign of loneliness
The bridge stood there
A sight for my sore and burning eyes
I had to let it go

The seasons blend one into another
The colors peeled off, the sun grew dim
The bridge was dying
It was miserable and alone
And that's why...

I burned your bridge down tonight
Wood fallen to ashes, paint faded to gray
I burned its beauty down tonight
Because if it stays, I will walk down it
And find my way back to you
