Better hang on to that matchbook with his number on it 

But not for the reason you think 

There'll come a day girl that you're gonna want it 

To light the past up in flames 

He's the lesson you learn 

He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn 

He's that one last look back when you finally get over the hurt 

He's the bridge you burn 

He's the bridge you burn 

No you're not the first one to think they can change him 

Well that line of fools is so long 

But you'll be the only one you have to blame when 

You wake up and he's gone 

He's the lesson you learn 

He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn 

He's that one last look back when you finally get over the hurt 

He's the bridge you burn, burn down 

Then you turn around and say 

Man that was a close one 

He's the lesson you learn 

He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn 

He's the lesson you learn 

He's that one last look back when you get over the hurt 

He's the bridge you burn 

He's the bridge you burn 

Yeah he's the bridge you burn 

He's the bridge you burn 

Burn it down girl
