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
