Burning Bridges

Burning bridges behind me it's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me all I want is to forget you somehow
Found some letters you wrote me this morning
They told of a love we once knew
Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes
Don't want nothing to remind me of you
Burning bridges behind me...
I sold the house that we once planned together
And I said goodbye to those friends that we knew
Then I moved to the faraway city
Trying hard to forget about you
Burning bridges behind me...
