Come and see me I won't tell a soul
Cause people like to talk round here
I miss you so much I've been so down and out
And I know how she'd feel if she ever found out
I'll take the chance I'm not after romance
Or your fortune and fame or part of your name
You put the friendship on hold and hung up the phone
But she holds the cards and she runs the show
And that's the way it has to be Have I lost a friend
You have a heart, you take a risk
Throw away the god that you've got strapped to your wrist
Block up your ears if she starts to bitch
Whatever you do, babe, don't burn down the bridge

Well, I've seen love come I've seen love go
I've seen friends disappear
Sometimes there's no goodbye and no reply
And there's just no point in questioning why
The changes life brings are like the songs that we sing
Freedom may ring through the notes and the strings
I have no regrets, never forget
The words that were spoken on the night we met

And whatever happens to dreams when they become reality...
Did you lose your direction lose your perception
Of the man that you wanted to be
Did she pass the torch of loneliness that burns up your desire
And how many friends will you lose in the end
Now that the bridge has caught on fire, fire....

So, will you have a heart you take a risk
Throw away the god that you've got strapped to your wrist
Block up your ears if she starts to bitch
Whatever you do, babe, don't burn down the bridge
Burn down the bridge, don't burn it down
