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 leavin' left me hurtin'

Girl I'm tired of kickin', cursin'

So I'll do a little goodbye burnin' (goodbye burnin')

'Cause I want everything about you

Goin' up in smoke

I'm gonna douse it down with whiskey

So it ain't burnin' slow

Tonight I'm lightin' up your memory

Like it's love's last cigarette

From our first hello, to seein' you with him

I'm gonna burn it at both ends

♪

Now I know there's some good ones

Livin' in the middle

But I don't wanna miss 'em

Not even just a little

From echoes of you laughing

To the click of your suitcase latchin'

Gonna leave it all in ashes

'Cause I want everything about you

Goin' up in smoke

I'm gonna douse it down with whiskey

So it ain't burnin' slow

Tonight I'm lightin' up your memory

Like it's love's last cigarette

From our first hello, to seein' you with him

I'm gonna burn it at both ends

I want everything about you

Goin' up in smoke

I'm gonna douse it down with whiskey

So it ain't burnin' slow

Tonight I'm lightin' up your memory

Like it's love's last cigarette

From our first hello, to seein' you with him

So there ain't no way of you hurtin' me again

I'm gonna burn it at both

Burn it at both ends

At both ends
