I've been burning the candle at both ends
Running myself more ragged
I couldn't read the writing on the wall
And that was no help at all
I've been learning all my lessons the hard way
And nursing the exit wound
From a near fatal mistake
You could say it was time for a wake up call
I never did get that call
I can't see a light anymore
I can't see a light anymore
It get's lonesome in that valley
You've got to go it alone
You've got to go it alone
I've been burning all my bridges and contacts
Running the risk of losing
All you can never get back
I'm willing to take the fall
I'll do it with no help at all
I never did get that call
Man there was no help at all
I've been burning the candle at both ends
