And all of the waiting I have done in my mind
All of the hating I have yet to find
It all seems like a dream here in my eyes
Oh, Lord, if they were only lies

And all of the dreaming you have written in my heart
All of the hopes we had placed from the start
It all fades from my thoughts, each time I believe
I think I'm going to take my hope and leave

And if we have to burn this bridge, let's burn it down right
Take my eyes from my head, take me from my sight
Break all my memories, let me lay at ease
Take from me anything you damned well please

And if you think it's time to go, let's not waste around
I'll find a shovel, and put a grave in the ground
Put on our mourning clothes and cry and grieve
One can come and two can leave

And if we have to burn this bridge, let's burn it down right
Take my eyes from my head, take me from my sight
Break all my memories, let me lay at ease
Take from me anything you damned well please
Take from me anything you damned well please
