| The bridges have been burned again,
|
| From heart to heart and friend to friend,
|
| From dust to dust and back again,
|
| And now I am alone again.
|
| The bridges have been burned again,
|
| From heart to heart and friend to friend,
|
| The gloves are off, let’s not pretend,
|
| The sky’s gonna fall,
|
| I’ve been here before.
|
| The time has come, the scene is set,
|
| The curtain’s down, the crowd is left,
|
| I’m shutting down what power is left,
|
| I know what’s in store,
|
| I’ve been here before.
|
| But I don’t wanna wait a lifetime,
|
| I’m not gonna trust time,
|
| Cause my desperate heart is all on its side.
|
| No I don’t wanna waste a lifetime,
|
| Keeping it all inside,
|
| It will come when I least expect it,
|
| So I’m giving up,
|
| I’m giving up on love,
|
| I’m giving up,
|
| I’m giving up on love.
|
| I’m staring out across the sea,
|
| Expanding out before me,
|
| I see what lies, what lies beneath,
|
| When love comes to call I’ll give it my all.
|
| Til then I’ll twist and turn the key,
|
| Unlock my heart away from me,
|
| I’m giving up for all to see,
|
| My back’s on the wall,
|
| Don’t dance anymore.
|
| But I don’t wanna wait a lifetime,
|
| I’m not gonna trust time,
|
| Cause my desperate heart is all on its side.
|
| No I don’t wanna waste a lifetime,
|
| Keeping it all inside,
|
| It will come when I least expect it,
|
| So I’m giving up,
|
| I’m giving up on love,
|
| I’m giving up,
|
| I’m giving up on love,
|
| I’m giving up,
|
| I’m giving up on love,
|
| I’m giving up,
|
| I’m giving up on love. |
