I strike a match to an old love letter
Another weak attempt at lettin´ go
I try to put myself together
I know I´m not even close
The time will come
When I turn your memory loose
But I can´t think about that now
No not now

Well I´ll burn that bridge when I get there
When the fire for you has burned out
Well I´ll walk across and cut my loss
The day that I no longer care
Well I´ll burn that bridge when I get there

When you walked out you took off runnin´
Your heart found another home
Now you look at me like we had nothin´
I wish that I could be that cold
When I don´t shake at the mention of your name
That´s when I´ll finally write you off
I´ll write you off

Well I´ll burn that bridge when I get there
When the fire for you has burned out
Well I´ll walk across and cut my loss
The day that I no longer care
Well I´ll burn that bridge when I get there

Well I´ll walk across and cut my loss
I´ll burn that bridge when I get there
Yes I´ll burn that bridge when I get there
