How did we get here
All cast away on a lonely shore
I can see in your eyes dear
It's hard to take for a moment more
We've got to

Burn the ships, cut the ties
Send the flame into the night
Say your prayer, turn the tide
Dry your tears and wave goodbye

Step into a new day
We can rise up from the dust and walk away
We can dance upon the heartache
So light a match, leave the past
Burn the ships and don't you look back

Don't let it arrest you, this fear
This fear of falling again
And if you need a refuge
I'll be right here until the end
(Oh it's time to)

Burn the ships, cut the ties
Send the flame into the night
Say your prayer, turn the tide
Dry your tears and wave goodbye

Step into a new day
We can rise up from the dust and walk away
We can dance upon the heartache
So light a match, leave the past
Burn the ships and don't you look back

So long to shame walk through the sorrow
Out of the fire into tomorrow
So flush the pills, face your fear
Feel the weight disappear
We're coming clean, we're born again
Our hopeful lungs can breathe again
Oh, we can breathe again

And step into a new day
We can rise up from the dust and walk away
We can dance upon the heartache
So light a match, leave the past
Burn the ships and don't you look back
(Don't you look back, don't you look back)
