Don't Burn the Bridge (That Took You Across)

With just my love, I kept you standing

Till you were ready for life's flight, with happy landings

The ways of life I taught you

All you needed I brought you

And when you fell I caught you

I made you strong

Now you're leaving, I have no one

Don't burn the bridge that took you across

Don't walk away and leave me lost

Don't burn the bridge

Don't burn the bridge

You were my weakness, I was your strength

You took my love to build all of your confidence

You usеd me, then betrayеd me

But there's been less you've paid me

I'm lost but you won't save me

So deep I hurt, you bet

Don't drop me where I picked you up

(Don't burn the bridge that took you across)

(No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost)

(No no, baby, don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge

(Don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge

Oh, baby, baby, mhm-mhm

Don't burn it, baby, baby

Now I can't make it, I need your help

Don't leave me here to save myself

Don't burn it, baby, mhm

Oh, don't burn it, baby, mhm

You lit the match that set my dreams on fire

You left me with tears to dry 'round my desires

My world's without a bout

With pain too big to stop them

So soon I've been forgotten, from joy to pain

There's been enough to make amends

(Don't burn the bridge that took you across)

(No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost)

(No no, baby, don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge

(That took you across) don't burn the bridge

(No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost)

(No no, baby, don't...) don't burn the bridge, no
