This is not the end-this is barely the middle
Of the story that we write
Stopping here would not be right
You want your demands you want more than you'll handle
Of the privileges of life
But you won't get that tonight
So Spare your tears and save your sighs
Use them like kerosene so bright
This is not goodbye
This is not goodbye
We're burning bridges
We may cross again but it will not be as friends
Already you don't recognize
You just choose to patronize
Claim your moral high ground your highway to the sky
Measure piety in height
Like Babel's tower or Icarus in flight
So go ahead ignore the cries
Of those like me and me alike
Guess that's your goodbye
Guess that's your goodbye
Is burning bridges
You make up whatever story that you want to
That paints you in a flattering light
That makes it look like you were right
But don't you wet those sad fat eyes
Cause you do not get to be nice
There's no nice goodbye
There's no nice goodbye
We're burning bridges
