[Verse 1 — Male] I got a heart built outta iron, And a soul that's seen some wars, Learned to sleep beside my demons, Keep my back against the door. Never needed anybody, That's the lie I learned to tell, I got good at walkin' lonely, I got comfortable with hell. Then you came dressed up like trouble, With that fire behind your eyes, Put your hands against my armor, Like you knew what lived inside. [Pre-Chorus] You said, "We can stand here with the ghosts, Or leave 'em in the smoke." Baby, take my hand— There's only one way this road goes. [Chorus] So don't look back, Let the bridges burn behind us. Let the midnight try to find us, We're already too far gone. Don't look back, If the whole damn world comes calling, I'll be there if you start falling, You won't face that dark alone. Let yesterday turn black, Let tomorrow come like thunder. If we're going down, we're going down together— And we ain't ever looking back. [Verse 2 — Female] You hide behind that red steel, Like there's nothing left to save, But I've seen the man beneath it, And I ain't afraid. I've got scars I never showed you, I've got nights I won't explain, Maybe broken knows another When it's standing in the rain. So I don't need your salvation, And you don't need mine tonight, Just stay standing here beside me When the darkness starts to rise. [Pre-Chorus — Female → Both] Let 'em talk about the wreckage, Let 'em whisper what we've done. We've spent long enough in shadows— Now, baby, let's run. [Chorus — Both] Don't look back, Let the bridges burn behind us. Let the midnight try to find us, We're already too far gone. Don't look back, If the whole damn world comes calling, I'll be there if you start falling, You won't face that dark alone. Let yesterday turn black, Let tomorrow come like thunder. If we're going down, we're going down together— And we ain't ever looking back. [Instrumental Break] Low, dirty electric-guitar riff. Heavy toms gradually enter. Slide guitar cries underneath. [Bridge — Male] I can't promise you a heaven. [Female] I never asked you to. [Male] Can't erase where I have been. [Female] Then I'll walk ahead with you. [Male] And when that old life comes to haunt me— [Female] I'll remind you where you are. [Both — building] Two sinners on an empty road, Following the headlights through the dark. And if that road runs straight through hell— [Female, quiet] Then don't let go. [Male] Never. [FINAL CHORUS — BOTH] DON'T LOOK BACK! Let the bridges burn behind us! Let the midnight try to find us— We ain't hiding anymore! DON'T LOOK BACK! Let the whole damn world come calling! If you stumble, if you're falling, I'll be waiting through the storm! Let yesterday turn black! Let tomorrow come like thunder! If we're going down, we're going down together! No regrets. No turning around. No surrendering what we found. You take my hand, I'll take your heart— AND WE AIN'T EVER LOOKING BACK! [Outro — Female, softly] Don't look back... [Male] Wasn't planning to. [Both] Not anymore
