The Bridge Lyrics - Billy Joel

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
