Burning Bridges

World On Edge

Compositor: David Sylvian / Melvin Miller / Walter Scott

Last night I hurt you
I said some things for which I'm only to blame
I wish that you never heard me
I don't know why I always bite the hand
that feeds me

Love hurts and you know it, baby
It's like a wound that gets deeper every day
I know I can't change it
That's why the lonely people just throw it all away

I know one day when time comes around
You'll be dancing rhythm,
I'll be jerking to the sound.
I'm burning bridges behind
Everybody's running 'round
They're keepin' low and keepin' strong.

Even though the day changes
A heart that's broken can get lost on a
winding road
I know I can't help you
I just watch the time go by and hope
that you are coming home.
