Don't Burn the Bridge (That Took You Across)

Lyrics

With just my love, I kept you standing
 Till you were ready for life's flight, with happy landings
 The ways of life I taught you
 All you needed I brought you
 And when you fell I caught you
 I made you strong
 Now you're leaving, I have no one
 Don't burn the bridge that took you across
 Don't walk away and leave me lost
 Don't burn the bridge
 Don't burn the bridge
 ♪
 You were my weakness, I was your strength
 You took my love to build all of your confidence
 You usеd me, then betrayеd me
 But there's been less you've paid me
 I'm lost but you won't save me
 So deep I hurt, you bet
 Don't drop me where I picked you up
 (Don't burn the bridge that took you across)
 (No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost)
 (No no, baby, don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge
 (Don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge
 Oh, baby, baby, mhm-mhm
 Don't burn it, baby, baby
 Now I can't make it, I need your help
 Don't leave me here to save myself
 Don't burn it, baby, mhm
 Oh, don't burn it, baby, mhm
 ♪
 You lit the match that set my dreams on fire
 You left me with tears to dry 'round my desires
 My world's without a bout
 With pain too big to stop them
 So soon I've been forgotten, from joy to pain
 There's been enough to make amends
 (Don't burn the bridge that took you across)
 (No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost)
 (No no, baby, don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge
 (That took you across) don't burn the bridge
 (No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost)
 (No no, baby, don't...) don't burn the bridge, no
