The Bridges You Burn

Graziano Romani


Too late to change my mind about it 
just let the meter keep tickin' away 
I'm on a taxi to the station, gotta take the early morning train 
check my past in the rear-view mirror 
don't recognize the face I see 
trying to forget your eyes, this hurt inside 
oh, it's the only thing I feel 

Well, everything that you learn, you learn from love 
and every stone that you turn, you turn for love 
every bridge that you burn will find you alone... 
Don't look back on the bridges you burn. 

I'm not the one to pull any punches 
always done the best I could 
just to walk a straight line, to play in time and to sing my song in tune 
but sometimes it's hard to hold on to 
all the promises and all the dreams 
to go against the grain and stand the strain 
now, I still believe 

Well, everything that you learn, you learn from love 
and every stone that you turn, you turn for love 
every bridge that you burn will find you alone... 
Don't look back on the bridges you burn. 

This one's for the words unspoken 
for the songs just left unsung 
for the sins left unforgiven, for the love made on the run 
I'll sing and toast with free spirits 
and smash my glass to make a scene 
to all the so-called friends who tried to change me 
I say, I'll never stop to dream 

Well, everything that you learn, you learn from love 
and every stone that you turn, you turn for love 
everything that you learn, you learn from love 
yeah, every stone that you turn, you turn for love 
every bridge that you burn will find you alone... 
Now don't look back on the bridges you burn.
