Lucinda Williams - Burning Bridges lyrics

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
