[Verse 1]
It'll hang on to that match book
With his number on it
But not for the reason you think
There'll come a day, girl
That you're going to want it
To light the past up in flames

[Chorus]
He is 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

[Verse 2]
Though you're not the first one
To think they can change you
Well, that line of fools is so long
But you'll be the only one
Who have to blame with
You wake up and he's gone

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Burn down
Then you turn around and say
"Man, that was a close one"

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Yeah, he's the bridge you burn
He's the bridge you burn
Write the number
