Song Lyrics

I've been burning the candle at both ends
And running myself more ragged than a raggedy ann
I couldn't read the writing on the wall
Until I hit that 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 and there was no help at all

Won't somebody tell me what these eyes are for
I can't see a light any more, I can't see a light any more
It gets lonesome in that valley, well, you're on your own
You've got to go it alone, you've got to go it alone, ooh

I've been burning all my bridges and contacts
And running the risk of losing all you can never get back
If I'm shooting myself in the foot, I'll crawl
I'm willing to take that fall, I'll do it with no help at all

I never did get that call, man, there was no help at all
There was no help at all, there was no help at all
Oh, no help at all
There was no, no help at all

I've been burning the candle at both ends
No help at all, there was no one around, no help at all
