Bon Jovi : Burning Bridges
Lyrics
1. A TEARDROP TO THE SEA
So this is it
Here it is
A pot of gold
A Judas kiss
I got what I wanted
I paid every cost
I'd give it all back
To get back what I've lost
Like a wave on the beach
Last leaf on the tree
It's all just a memory
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
They shake my hand
Pat my back
They know my drink
Welcome back
Life of the party
Tears of a clown
Can't hear a heartbreak
The music's too loud
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
Solo
It's just broken glass
Chalk lines on the street
And move along move along ain't nothing here to see
Ah, love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My riches just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No bitter goodbyes
Ah, love pick me up
Ah, love pick me up
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea
2. WE DON'T RUN
Take a look around you, Yeah, the sky is falling
Sinners say your prayers This train is off the tracks
Nothing is forever When tomorrow's calling
Dancing with the devil Take it one day back
I'm not afraid of burning bridges
‘Cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix, from the ashes
Welcome to the future, it's a new day
We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless this shield and this dirt I was born in
We don't run
Take me to the banks of your muddy water
Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet
Only takes your touch for me to find salvation
You're the only reason that I still believe
I'm not afraid of burning bridges
‘Cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix, from the ashes
Welcome to the future, it's a brand new day
We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless this shield and this dirt I was born in
We don't run
We don't run
3. SATURDAY NIGHT GAVE ME SUNDAY MORNING
I was living my life like a long-lost weekend
Never felt nothing, jumping right into deep end
I wasn't missin' nothin' that was ever worth getting
Never hung around enough to regret it
You came walking in late but just in time
You ended my excuses with a ten-cent rhyme
Your shoes and attitude were stacked way up high
I knew right then you were the story of my life.
Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings
Opened my eyes now it's a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings, yeah
When you're driving down a street that's only going one way
When every day starts feeling like a month of Mondays
You should know I still got something left to prove
I know what it takes to get back to you
Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings
Opened my eyes now it's a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings, yeah
Remember those nights staring out at the lights
Making time with our feet in the sand
Making up words to our favorite songs
Laughin' loud with those drinks in our hands
And as that boy put his head on her shoulder
She pulled him tight to get a bit closer
And as the world just disappeared
You whispered in my ear
Oh those saturday nights gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes now it's a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings, yeah
Sunday mornings
4. WE ALL FALL DOWN
Don't be afraid to lose your way.
Take that step; don't hesitate.
Your time is now, uh-huh.
Don't be afraid to scrape your knees
On these streets of shattered dreams,
Stand up and be proud, uh-huh.
I'm telling you now, yeah
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down.
Down on your luck, you're feeling small.
The little things seem 10 feet tall.
Why'd your dreams fall apart at the seams?
You wanna scream and shout out loud.
When you sit up they knock you down,
You're a long way from home, uh-huh,
But you're never alone, yeah
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall)…
If we're all digging in this dirt,
We're all livin' hand-to-mouth.
We're all tryin to fit in,
Tryin' not to chicken out.
Life doesn't wait, don't hesitate.
Don't lose your faith, it's judgment day.
I'm calling you out, uh-huh,
I'm calling you now.
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down
5. BLIND LOVE
Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day
Sit at the counter counting tips
Can't count on nothing else these days
Don't want to go home to the t.v.
Don't want to go down to some bar
You grab a blanket put the top down
And go driving in your car
Though your bed's as warm as January
On this cold December's night
Close your eyes love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
‘cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
‘Till I find my way home
Try love
Welcome to another morning
The sun's still shining but it's grey
Get out of bed now sleepyhead
You'd give an arm to hear him say
No one said that it'd be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
Close your eyes love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
‘cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I've got to make
‘Till I find my way home
Try love
If there's a patron saint of blind love
I hope he keeps me on your mind love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye love
These days it's hard for me to feel the sand beneath my feet
With this gunny sack and boots on
But no one said this would be easy
And no one said it'd be this hard
Close your eyes love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
‘cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I've got to make
‘Till I find my way home
Try love
If there's a patron saint of blind love
I pray he keeps me on your mind love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye love
With our blind love
Blind love
Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day
6. WHO WOULD YOU DIE FOR
For just one look I'd crawl across the floor,
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?
You right me lipstick letters,
And miss me when I'm gone,
Wake up tangled in the sheets,
Still aching for my arms,
The way you move it's almost holy,
I'm hoping you don't know you're only,
All I want is all of you and more,
The big bad wolf is knockin at your door,
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?
I wanna know, your secrets and your sins,
I wanna feel, your breathing out and in
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?
I wanna know what makes you feel,
I wanna know love truly heals,
I wanna know what makes you feel...
7. FINGERPRINTS
I gave you my fingerprints
Left them all over you
Tangled up in your sheets
This heartache's the only proof
I gave you my fingerprints
Now just like you they're gone
The man invisible
I'll be him from now on
The last time that I saw them
They were running through your hair
You held one between your lips
And brought another there
The last time that I saw them
I haven't seen them since
No matter who or what I touch
I leave no evidence
I gave you my fingerprints
I said I'd give you everything
But who thought you'd take it all
Does a promise really break
If nobody sees it fall
A hard rain can't wash away
The taste of your memory
Don't know what I would do
If you should stop haunting me
The last time that I saw them
They were running through your hair
You held one between your lips
And brought another there
The last time that I saw them
Unbuttoning your dress
Those pretty pictures in my head
Are the only thing you left
I gave you my fingerprints
That shiny box I gave to you
Was all there was to me
All it was to you was just a faded memory
I gave her my fingerprints
Guilty or innocent
I have to ask myself
Would I do it all again
Would I
The last time that I saw them
They were running through your hair
You held one between your lips
And brought another there
The last time that I saw them
I haven't seen them since
No matter who or what I touch
I leave no evidence
I gave you my finger prints
8. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Try to walk on water
You sink just like a stone
Said you'd be home early, but you always stay too long
You've got all the answers
but the answers are all wrong
I can't save you from my sins
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away
These hallow words my mouth won't pray
You fly, you fall
Life is beautiful
She's there to lift me up but I only let her down
A guilty king wears a broken crown
She's sweet forgiveness in a lonesome lost and found
I can't save you from my sins
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away
These hallow words my mouth won't pray
You fly, you fall
Life is beautiful
New gets old
The night gets cold
The sad goodbye
Life is beautiful
The sky is cracked
We can't go back
Dry your eyes
Life is beautiful
I can't save you from my sins
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away
These hallow words my mouth won't pray
New gets old
The night gets cold
The sad goodbye
Life is beautiful
The sky is cracked
We can't go back
Dry your eyes
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
9. I'M YOUR MAN
When your heart is hungry,
When you want a secret you can keep,
You know that you can call me,
Anytime for anything you need,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need for wasting words,
I'm who I am,
I'm your man,
No job that I can't handle,
There ain't much that I ain't done,
I'll be that one call that you get,
When you can't call no one,
When the room is dark and empty,
There's no need to explain,
Baby I'll come running, here I am
I'm your man
We know not to ask questions
So no one has to lie
We both know without hello
There won't be no goodbyes
No promises that we won't keep
No more to understand
Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man
I'm your man
We both know we're lonely
When we hold each other tight
But we won't ask forgiveness
When we walk away at night
No one asking questions
No need for alibis
No need to say those words
Just take my hand
I'm your man
When your heart is hungry,
When you want a secret you can keep,
You know that you can call me,
Anytime for anything you need,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need for wasting words,
I'm who I am,
I'm your man,
No job that I can't handle,
There ain't much that I ain't done,
I'll be that one call that you get,
When you can't call no one,
When the room is dark and empty,
There's no need to explain,
Baby I'll come running, here I am
I'm your man
We know not to ask questions
So no one has to lie
We both know without hello
There won't be no goodbyes
No promises that we won't keep
No more to understand
Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man
I'm your man
We both know we're lonely
When we hold each other tight
But we won't ask forgiveness
When we walk away at night
No one asking questions
No need for alibis
No need to say those words
Just take my hand
I'm your man
10. BURNING BRIDGES
Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's a last song you can sell.
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Ciao, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell.
Someone shut the lights off, turn the page.
The stories I could write.
I've seen a million faces and I've lived a couple lives.
Here's our history for all to see
The smiles and all the scars
First the rising, then the falling;
Call this chapter "Shooting Stars"
(Must sound good from where you are!)
Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's one last song you can sell.
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Ciao, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell.
Ah, check the box, yeah, mark this day.
There's nothing more to say.
After 30 years of loyalty, they let you dig a grave.
Now, maybe you could learn to sing or even strum along.
But I'll give you half the publishing;
You're why I wrote this song
(Everybody, sing along!)
Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's one last song you can sell.
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Hope my money and my masters
Buy a front row seat in hell.
Ciao, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in … St. Tropez.
11. TAKE BACK THE NIGHT
You're saving days and nights
Are always blaming
This soaked tragic life
So where's the happy ending?
Stucked at the traffic light
It's just the same old song
I'm humming all the worse
But I won't sing alone
Listen, I need something different
I'm tired of giving
And time to start living
We're gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let's start a fire, let's start a fight
We're gonna take back the night
Do you wanna be another casualty?
The one who stands his ground
When everybody leaves?
It's time for taking sides
It's time to face the truth
Too late for turning back
So what'cha gonna do?
Listen, I need something different
There's no time for reason
I'm tired of bleeding
We're gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let's start a fire, let's start a fight
We're gonna take back the night
Listen, I need something different
I'm tired of dreaming
This time I'm screaming
We're gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let's start a fire, let's start a fight
We're gonna take back the night
Take back the night
We're gonna take back the night
So this is it
Here it is
A pot of gold
A Judas kiss
I got what I wanted
I paid every cost
I'd give it all back
To get back what I've lost
Like a wave on the beach
Last leaf on the tree
It's all just a memory
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
They shake my hand
Pat my back
They know my drink
Welcome back
Life of the party
Tears of a clown
Can't hear a heartbreak
The music's too loud
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
Solo
It's just broken glass
Chalk lines on the street
And move along move along ain't nothing here to see
Ah, love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My riches just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No bitter goodbyes
Ah, love pick me up
Ah, love pick me up
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea
2. WE DON'T RUN
Take a look around you, Yeah, the sky is falling
Sinners say your prayers This train is off the tracks
Nothing is forever When tomorrow's calling
Dancing with the devil Take it one day back
I'm not afraid of burning bridges
‘Cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix, from the ashes
Welcome to the future, it's a new day
We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless this shield and this dirt I was born in
We don't run
Take me to the banks of your muddy water
Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet
Only takes your touch for me to find salvation
You're the only reason that I still believe
I'm not afraid of burning bridges
‘Cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix, from the ashes
Welcome to the future, it's a brand new day
We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless this shield and this dirt I was born in
We don't run
We don't run

4. WE ALL FALL DOWN
Don't be afraid to lose your way.
Take that step; don't hesitate.
Your time is now, uh-huh.
Don't be afraid to scrape your knees
On these streets of shattered dreams,
Stand up and be proud, uh-huh.
I'm telling you now, yeah
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down.
Down on your luck, you're feeling small.
The little things seem 10 feet tall.
Why'd your dreams fall apart at the seams?
You wanna scream and shout out loud.
When you sit up they knock you down,
You're a long way from home, uh-huh,
But you're never alone, yeah
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall)…
If we're all digging in this dirt,
We're all livin' hand-to-mouth.

And don't be scared to hit the ground.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down
5. BLIND LOVE
Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day

8. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Try to walk on water
You sink just like a stone
Said you'd be home early, but you always stay too long
You've got all the answers
but the answers are all wrong
I can't save you from my sins
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away
These hallow words my mouth won't pray
You fly, you fall
Life is beautiful
She's there to lift me up but I only let her down
A guilty king wears a broken crown
She's sweet forgiveness in a lonesome lost and found
I can't save you from my sins
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away
These hallow words my mouth won't pray
You fly, you fall
Life is beautiful
New gets old
The night gets cold
The sad goodbye
Life is beautiful
The sky is cracked
We can't go back
Dry your eyes
Life is beautiful
I can't save you from my sins
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away
These hallow words my mouth won't pray
New gets old
The night gets cold
The sad goodbye
Life is beautiful
The sky is cracked
We can't go back
Dry your eyes
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
9. I'M YOUR MAN
When your heart is hungry,
When you want a secret you can keep,
You know that you can call me,
Anytime for anything you need,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need for wasting words,
I'm who I am,
I'm your man,
No job that I can't handle,
There ain't much that I ain't done,
I'll be that one call that you get,
When you can't call no one,
When the room is dark and empty,
There's no need to explain,
Baby I'll come running, here I am
I'm your man
We know not to ask questions
So no one has to lie
We both know without hello
There won't be no goodbyes
No promises that we won't keep
No more to understand
Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man
I'm your man
We both know we're lonely
When we hold each other tight
But we won't ask forgiveness
When we walk away at night
No one asking questions
No need for alibis
No need to say those words
Just take my hand
I'm your man
When your heart is hungry,
When you want a secret you can keep,
You know that you can call me,
Anytime for anything you need,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need for wasting words,
I'm who I am,
I'm your man,
No job that I can't handle,
There ain't much that I ain't done,
I'll be that one call that you get,
When you can't call no one,
When the room is dark and empty,
There's no need to explain,
Baby I'll come running, here I am
I'm your man
We know not to ask questions
So no one has to lie
We both know without hello
There won't be no goodbyes
No promises that we won't keep
No more to understand
Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man
I'm your man
We both know we're lonely
When we hold each other tight
But we won't ask forgiveness
When we walk away at night
No one asking questions
No need for alibis
No need to say those words
Just take my hand
I'm your man
10. BURNING BRIDGES
Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's a last song you can sell.
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Ciao, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell.
Someone shut the lights off, turn the page.
The stories I could write.
I've seen a million faces and I've lived a couple lives.
Here's our history for all to see
The smiles and all the scars
First the rising, then the falling;
Call this chapter "Shooting Stars"
(Must sound good from where you are!)
Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's one last song you can sell.
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Ciao, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell.
Ah, check the box, yeah, mark this day.
There's nothing more to say.
After 30 years of loyalty, they let you dig a grave.
Now, maybe you could learn to sing or even strum along.
But I'll give you half the publishing;
You're why I wrote this song
(Everybody, sing along!)
Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's one last song you can sell.
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Hope my money and my masters
Buy a front row seat in hell.
Ciao, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in … St. Tropez.
11. TAKE BACK THE NIGHT
You're saving days and nights
Are always blaming
This soaked tragic life
So where's the happy ending?
Stucked at the traffic light
It's just the same old song
I'm humming all the worse
But I won't sing alone
Listen, I need something different
I'm tired of giving
And time to start living
We're gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let's start a fire, let's start a fight
We're gonna take back the night
Do you wanna be another casualty?
The one who stands his ground
When everybody leaves?
It's time for taking sides
It's time to face the truth
Too late for turning back
So what'cha gonna do?
Listen, I need something different
There's no time for reason
I'm tired of bleeding
We're gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let's start a fire, let's start a fight
We're gonna take back the night
Listen, I need something different
I'm tired of dreaming
This time I'm screaming
We're gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let's start a fire, let's start a fight
We're gonna take back the night
Take back the night
We're gonna take back the night
