Burning Bridges Lyrics

I can feel a strong desire 
A distant fire burning through the past 
Deep inside my heart is yearning 
A bridge is burning 
There's just no turning back 

After all the hell I've tasted 
Years I've wasted 
Love that slipped away 
Suddenly a vision shook me 
I see the fool I'd become content to play 
Over one-way streets in blindin' heat 
I carry this torch alone 
I ask for no directions home 

You can call out my name but I won't return 
I'm a fugitive of love and this heart's been burned 
Oh, burning bridges behind me 
You can follow me down but it's plain to see 
I'm a victim of the burn and it's third degree 
Oh, setting bridges on fire 

I will go to any length 
To find the strength 
To face the night alone 
Standing on the edge of time 
I cross the line 
My heart becomes my own 
Gonna tell you why you're a fool to try 
To cross a burning bridge 
It's a long hard fall from the top of the ridge 

You can call out my name but I won't return 
I'm a fugitive of love and this heart's been burned 
Oh, burning bridges behind me 
You can follow me down but it's plain to see 
I'm a victim of the burn and it's third degree 
Oh, setting bridges on fire 

You can call out my name but I won't return 
I'm a fugitive of love and this heart's been burned 
Oh, burning bridges behind me 
You can follow me down but it's plain to see 
I'm a victim of the burn and it's third degree 
Oh, setting bridges on fire 
Oh, burning bridges behind me 
Oh, burning bridges on fire, on fire, oh, oh
