Burning Bridges

What will it take you make you learn There are bridges you don't burn Some things you just shouldn't be Messing with or you will see How it comes back haunting you You should really think it through Before the trouble you are stirring Gets somebody's anger whirring Smack dab right int your direction Heed my warning and suggestion There are times you walk away Turn around and do not stay Where you cause so much disaster Inside you are full of laughter But there's no joke a while after The bridges you burned will soon fall From the fire you install As the flames of hurtful heartache Start burning higher as they take Everyone around you in A fiery tale-spin That will end up in hot ember And these ashes you'll remember As they leave a burning scar Of a joke you took to far
