Burning Bridges

.38 Special

You haven't changed much 
From the last time I saw you 
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge 
That burned between you and I 
I've avoided nostalgia ignored the sentimental 
Tried to cut myself off from much of the past 
All that macho and all that bravado 
Makes me wanna laugh makes me wanna laugh
We do what it takes to keep on pushin' 
We do what it takes to survive 
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make you wonder 

Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame 
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire 
Of burning bridges burning bridges 

I've made some adjustments 
Worked out some problems 
Nearly drove myself crazy with things I can't change
But all that's history little darlin' 
And it's good to see you smile 
Just good to see you smile again 
You got what it takes to keep on pushin'
You got what it takes to survive 
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make me wonder 

Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame 
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire 
Of burning bridges 
Why'd we wanna cry such a river
Why'd we wanna swim that distant shores 
There ain't nothing to see in the light 
Of burning bridges 

I'm thinkin' that we could start over
But rebuilding bridges takes time 
Time to heal time to forgive 
Let live and forget 

You haven't changed much from the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes 
So much water's gone over the bridge so much water
