She Burned Her Bridges Down

One night she whispered, she spilled it in the dark
I never saw it comin', but it blew right through my heart
It sounded like an echo, she said it once before
Blow a kiss on leavin', and kindly close the door

Well, the face you carry is the one that people see
There's another one behind it, and she turned that one on me
She said it with her eyes closed, she wasn't foolin' around
The night she burned her bridges down

Your friends'll tell you, "There are things you should leave alone"
And the truth is somethin' different when it cuts right to the bone
Magic and miracles, torch the forest to save the trees
Everybody suffers and they fall to their knees

But the way she looked at me, like she was lookin' for a clue
As if I could read the future, but she already knew
She blew away the darkness, never to be found
The night she burned her bridges down
She burned her bridges down

Well, the world keeps spinnin' around
Disappeared without a sound
She wasn't foolin' around
The night she burned her bridges down
She burned her bridges down

There's a weight you carry, in a world beyond time
Hide it away and go lookin' for a sign
Is there somebody out there who can meet you half way?
Too many questions, you might drive them away

Oh, enemies and lovers are bound to come and go
So you wait for revelation, 'cause you just don't ever know
And the world grew so much bigger, and it kept spinnin' around
The night she burned her bridges down
She burned her bridges down

Well, the world keeps spinnin' around
You can feel it movin' underground
She disappeared without a sound
The night she burned her bridges down

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
Well, the world keeps spinnin' around
The night she burned her bridges down
She burned her bridges down
