Some trouble in the family, hangin' on just drags me down
Seen some greener grass but it's not growin' in this town
Want some credit to my name, and a job that's worth the time
Got to keep on goin', burn the bridges left behind

Never thought I'd get on track
Till I turned around and looked straight back
Found some peace of mind
Burning bridges left behind


Diverging for a merging of two hearts that beat the same
Built a bridge into my soul but found it only went one way
Can't pretend it doesn't hurt to see you turn your back to mine
Got to keep on goin', burn the bridges left behind

Path ahead is bright as day
Fires burning light the way
Found some peace of mind
Burning bridges left behind


We may think our lives got started
With the midwife's routine slap
Instead we rise like Phoenix
Bridges burning at our backs


Never thought I'd get on track
Till I turned around and looked straight back
Path ahead is bright as day
Fires burning light the way
Found some peace of mind
Burning bridges left behind
