Burn It At Both Ends

I don't want one single night

Comin' back to haunt me

I can't let them baby blues

Come back 'round to taunt me

Your leaving left me hurting

Girl, I'm tried of kicking, cursing

So, I do a little goodbye burning

'Cause I want everything about you

Going up in smoke

I'm gonna douse it down with whisky

So, it ain't burning slow

Tonight, I'm lighting up your memory

Like it's love's last cigarette

From our first hello to seeing you with him

I'm gonna burn it at both ends

Now, I know there's some good ones

Living in the middle

But I don't want to miss some

Not even just a little

From echoes of your laughing

To the click of your suitcase latching

Gonna leave it all in ashes

'Cause I want everything about you

Going up in smoke

I'm gonna douse it down with whisky

So, it ain't burning slow

Tonight, I'm lighting up your memory

Like it's love's last cigarette

From our first hello to seeing you with him

I'm gonna burn it at both ends

I want everything about you

Going up in smoke

I'm gonna douse it down with whisky

So, it ain't burning slow

Tonight, I'm lighting up your memory

Like it's love's last cigarette

From our first hello to seeing you with him

So, there ain't no way you'll hurt me again

I'm gonna burn it at both

Burn it at both ends

At both ends
