I strike a match to an old love letter Another weak attempt at lettin' go I try to put myself together I know I'm not even close The time will come When I turn your memory loose But I can't think about that now No not now Well I'll burn that bridge when I get there When the fire for you has burned out Well I'll walk across and cut my loss The day that I no longer care Well I'll burn that bridge when I get there When you walked out you took off runnin' Your heart found another home Now you look at me like we had nothin' I wish that I could be that cold When I don't shake at the mention of your name That's when I'll finally write you off I'll write you off Well I'll burn that bridge when I get there When the fire for you has burned out Well I'll walk across and cut my loss The day that I no longer care Well I'll burn that bridge when I get there Well I'll walk across and cut my loss I'll burn that bridge when I get there Yes I'll burn that bridge when I get there
