Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you find you're walking
Lonely
[Verse 2]
Oh baby, I
Never meant to hurt you
Sometimes the best intentions
Still don't make things right
[Verse 3]
All my ghosts they find me
Like my past they think they own me
Dreams and dark corners they surround me
Till  I cry I cry
[Verse 4]
Let me take this time
To set the record straight
Let me take this time
To take it all back
Let me take this time
To tell you how I felt
Let me take this time
To try and make it right
[Verse 5]
All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you find you're walking
Lonely
[Verse 6]
You can
Walk away
All alone
Spend all your time
Thinking about the way things used to be
Love feels right
You work it out
Don't give it up
Baby
[Verse 7]
Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that
[Verse 8]
You should take some time
Maybe sleep on it tonight
You should take some time
Baby hear the words I said
You should take some time
To think about your life
You should take some time
Before you throw it all away
[Verse 9]
All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you find you're walking
Lonely
[Verse 10]
Ain't got the time
To sit here and wait around
Ain't got the time
You say I'm what you want
[Verse 11]
So all the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you find you're walking
Lonely
