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 a flare into the night Say a 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, yeah So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships And don't you look back ♪ And if you need a refuge I will be right here until the end Oh, it's time to Burn the ships, cut the ties Send a flare into the night Say a 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, yeah 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
