for four long years
i held up that bridge
with my own two hands
now my happiness makes it fall
my happiness makes it fall
it's the bridge i never wanted to burn,
the bridge i never wanted to burn
but there's nothing i can do to stop it now
nothing i can do to put that fire out
it's the bridge i never wanted to burn
i wipe my dripping eyes
with the sleeve of the shirt you gave me
before i knew what i know now
it took four long years to learn
it took four long years to burn
i watch the bridge burn
and there's nothing i can do to stop it now
nothing i can do to put that fire out
it's the bridge i never wanted to burn.
