The Bridge I Will Not Burn

[Verse 1] The words came like fire, they burned through the line. They left us with cinders and nothing defined. The voices were screaming, "You'll never agree," And a quiet temptation was calling to me. To walk to the edge and just sever the ties. To turn my back on the pain and the lies. They'd say it's the weakness to ever stand still, But I'm building a monument on top of this hill. [Pre-Chorus] The pressure is on, the final command. To raise up my weapon, to fall on my sword. But I'll raise up a hand and I'll make a final stand, Against the poison, against the war. [Chorus] I won't burn the bridge, I'm holding the light. I'll stand in the middle, and I'll make it right. This isn't a battle, it's a plea and a prayer, For a piece of tomorrow we both can still share. I won't burn the bridge, I'm watching it grow.| With roots in the dirt and the seeds that we sow. This is the moment, this is the sign, This bridge is for your soul as much as it's for mine. [Verse 2] You've got your reasons, I've heard them all. The righteous fury that answers the call. To fight for the truth, and to never concede, Ignoring the wounds from the battle we feed. But I see the sadness that lives in your eyes, And know that we're both just wearing a disguise. Beneath all the screaming, beneath all the hate, Is a broken connection, a desperate fate. [Pre-Chorus] The pressure is on, the final command. To raise up my weapon, to fall on my sword. But I'll raise up a hand and I'll make a final stand, Against the poison, against the war. [Chorus] I won't burn the bridge, I'm holding the light. I'll stand in the middle, and I'll make it right. This isn't a battle, it's a plea and a prayer, For a piece of tomorrow we both can still share. I won't burn the bridge, I'm watching it grow. With roots in the dirt and the seeds that we sow. This is the moment, this is the sign, This bridge is for your soul as much as it's for mine. [Bridge] Yeah, you call it weakness, but I call it strength. Taking a step back, and going to any length. We can't win this war with the words that we choose. If we can't find peace, then we both stand to lose. Every wall that we build, is another day lost. Every argument won, is a soul-crushing cost. So let's walk in the gray, let's find the middle, Before all that's left, are just bones and a riddle. [Chorus] I won't burn the bridge, I'm holding the light. I'll stand in the middle, and I'll make it right. This isn't a battle, it's a plea and a prayer, For a piece of tomorrow we both can still share. I won't burn the bridge, I'm watching it grow. With roots in the dirt and the seeds that we sow. This is the moment, this is the sign, This bridge is for your soul as much as it's for mine. [Outro] This bridge is for your soul as much as it's for mine… I won't burn the bridge. I won't burn the bridge… [Chorus] I won't burn the bridge, I'm holding the light. I'll stand in the middle, and I'll make it right. This isn't a battle, it's a plea and a prayer, For a piece of tomorrow we both can still share. I won't burn the bridge, I'm watching it grow. With roots in the dirt and the seeds that we sow. This is the moment, this is the sign, This bridge is for your soul as much as it's for mine. [Bridge] Yeah, you call it weakness, but I call it strength. Taking a step back, and going to any length. We can't win this war with the words that we choose. If we can't find peace, then we both stand to lose. Every wall that we build, is another day lost. Every argument won, is a soul-crushing cost. So let's walk in the gray, let's find the middle, Before all that's left, are just bones and a riddle. [Chorus] I won't burn the bridge, I'm holding the light. I'll stand in the middle, and I'll make it right. This isn't a battle, it's a plea and a prayer, For a piece of tomorrow we both can still share. I won't burn the bridge, I'm watching it grow. With roots in the dirt and the seeds that we sow. This is the moment, this is the sign, This bridge is for your soul as much as it's for mine. [Outro] This bridge is for your soul as much as it's for mine… I won't burn the bridge. I won't burn the bridge… [Outro] I won't burn the bridge. I won't burn the bridge… I won't burn the bridge. I won't burn the bridge… I won't burn the bridge. I won't burn the bridge… I won't burn the bridge. I won't burn the bridge…
