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 used me then betrayed me

but there's been less you've paid me

i'm lost but you won't save me

so deep

don't drop me where i picked you up

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

oh

baby

baby

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

don't burn it

baby

you lit the match

that set my dreams on fire

you left me with tears to dry

round my desires

my words

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

don't walk away and leave me lost

don't burn the bridge

don't burn the bridge
