She lit the match, dropped it behind her, and took off down the stairs.
Tossed the key into the sea and headed out for God knows where.
Halfway around the world from him still wouldn't be too far.
Sure, the bleeding's gonna stop but what about the scars?

(chorus)
No turning back this time
After setting the bridge on fire
No turning back this time
She's got to get away
There's no turning back

Leaving empty handed, alone and unprepared
That's OK with her this ain't the first time she's been scared
Her chances of survival feel like slim to none
she might not live to see another day in Washington

(chorus)

No turning back this time
After setting the bridge on fire
No turning back this time
She's got to get away
There's no turning back

(bridge)
No, no,no,no He's cut too deep this time
Drained te love from her heart
But she's got this feeling she's gonna do just fine
Now she's finally learned the lesson
She can make a brand new start.

Michael got the papers the second week in June
He drinks away most nights in his double-wide and howls at the moon.
How could she just leave me — I did nothing wrong
Ah, those bitches they are all the same they take and then they're gone

(chorus)
