My windshield's cracked
Just like my heart
My tires are all flat
Just like my brain
My engine's runnin' rough
Just like my soul
Don't know how much further we can go
Burning this much oil
So let's burn all the bridges
Ignore all the signs
Put the hammer down
And listen to her whine
Don't know where we went wrong
But it's one step closer to you being gone
I gave you the tools
But you broke every single rule
And every time I turn around
I'm runnin straight back to you
Well I'm broken and twisted
Tired of dancing around
Pick me up, throw me down, pull me in, throw me out
Again
So let's burn all the bridges
Ignore all the signs
Put the hammer down
And listen to her whine
Don't know where we went wrong
But it's one step closer to you being gone
Tell me which way to go
Cause if I'm going down
I'll want to be the first to know
Yeah lets burn all the bridges
Ignore all the signs
Put the hammer down
Listen to her whine
Don't know where we went wrong
Yeah lets burn all the bridges
Ignore all the signs
Put the hammer down
Listen to her whine
Don't know where we went wrong
