Friends all tried to warn me but I held my head up high.
All the times they warned me, but I only passed them by.
They all tried to tell me but I guess I didn't care.
I turned my back and left them standing there.


All those burning bridges that have fallen after me.
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories.
Everyone I left behind each time I closed a door.
Burning bridges lost forever more.


Joey tried to help me find a job awhile ago.
When I finally got it, I didn't want to go.
What is there in keep for me when I just walk away?
Now there's nothing left for me to say.


All those burning bridges that have fallen after me.
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories.
Everyone I left behind each time I closed a door.
Burning bridges lost forever more.


Years have passed and I keep thinking what a fool I've been.
I look back into the past and think of way back when.
I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win.
I guess I should have listened to my friends.


All those burning bridges that have fallen after me.
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories.
Everyone I left behind each time I closed a door.
Burning bridges lost forever more...
