Billy Joel - The Bridge lyrics

I know you well enough to tell you've got your reasons

That's not the kind of code you're inclined to break

Some things unknown are best left alone foreverAnd if a vow is what it takes

Haven't you paid for your mistakesAfter the moment passes

And the impulse disappearsYou can still hold back

Because you don't crack very easilyIt's a time-honored resolution

Because the danger is always nearIt's with you now

But that ain't how it was supposed to be

And it's hard to believe after all these years

It still gives you pain and it still brings tearsAnd you feel like a fool

'Cause in spite of the rulesYou've got a memoryChorus
