Burning the candle at both ends

Candles It all changed in the blinking of an eye And all it took was a little white lie The candle flickered and you stared at the floor She said "it's over" and headed for the door Regrets you have and a pound of insecure Those wasted years were never part of the cure If you had your time again you'd get up off the floor If you had it all again you'd have boarded up that door When you see that you can never make amends You'll find your failings were just fair-weather friends You cannot sleep on it for the message that would send Until you realise you're burning the candle at both ends Take your time, but move on out to another place Don't stand in line, find your open space There's no disgrace, you can really change your mind Light it up, in the darkness you can shine When you see that you could never make amends You found your failings were just fair-weather friends You couldn't sleep on it for the message that would send And then you realise you're burning ... And then you realise you're burning And then you realise you're burning the candle at both ends Words and music dB Vocals and guitar dB Remastered 29th September 2017
