Tired of Being Good

I'm gonna burn the bridge instead

You kept the dog and the house and the cabin by the lake
You told the town I was the one who made the mistake
You got my buddies drinking at your barbecues
And I'm the bad guy in the story you choose
Mama says "Be quiet, son, just let it be"
Preacher says forgiveness is the way to be free
But I've been turning cheeks till my whole face is sore
I ain't turning anymore

I was kind
I was fair
And you took every inch
Of what we had there

Everybody says to take the high road
Be the bigger one and let it go
But I'm tired of being good about it
I'm gonna burn the bridge instead

Burn it, burn it
Burn it down

You said you'd call and you never did
You said you'd change and you never did
You said "forever" in a borrowed suit
Then you said it to her, and I heard it too
Everybody tells me "Girl, you're better than this"
Maybe I am, but I'm sick of the kiss
Of a good girl's patience, of a good girl's smile
I'ma be bad for a while

I was kind
I was fair
And you took every inch
Of what we had there

Everybody says to take the high road
Be the bigger one and let it go
But I'm tired of being good about it
I'm gonna burn the bridge instead

Pour the gas
Strike the match
Watch it burn
Don't look back
Pour the gas
Don't look back

Everybody says to take the high road
Be the bigger one and let it go
But I'm tired of being good about it
I'm gonna burn the bridge instead

Burn it, burn it

Everybody says to take the high road
Be the bigger one and let it go
But I'm tired of being good about it
I'm gonna burn the bridge instead

Burn it, burn it
Burn it down

Watch it burn

Burn it, burn it
Burn it down
