lyrics

A Bridge to Burn

See the flames in the distance
Shining bright
Breaking up the sky
Is it something I said, something I did
Is it life, is it in my head

It’s hard, hard to see
I am lost
I don’t know who I am
I’m holding the bridge
I won’t run, I won’t hide
I won’t leave my mind

Chorus
There's a bridge to burn now, to burn in my heart
The flame’s too bright to see
The bridge is blazing in the night, it’s lighting up the sky
Let it all come down

I walk through the fire
The flames are cold
I see you standing there
The love in your eyes
Ash at your feet, I am here
On the other side

Chorus
There's a bridge to burn now, to burn in my heart
The flame’s too bright to see
The bridge is blazing in the night, it’s lighting up the sky
Let it all come down

I am lost, I don’t know who I am
I’m holding the bridge
I won’t run, I won’t hide
I won’t leave my mind

Middle 8
And now the flames have all died down
Burnt out at your feet
The bridge is still stood firm
You see the wrongs of my heart
Rise through the smoky air, as smoke fills up the sky

Chorus
There's a bridge to burn now, to burn in my heart
The flame’s too bright to see
The bridge is blazing in the night, it’s lighting up the sky
Let it all come down, let it all come down
