I've been burning the candle at both ends
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
Nursing the exit wound
From a near fatal mistake
You could say it was time for a wake up call
But I never did get that call
There was no help at all

Won't somebody tell me
What these eyes are for
I can't see a light anymore
I can't see a light anymore

It gets lonesome in that valley
You're on your own
You have to go it alone
You have to go it alone

I've been burning all my bridges and contacts
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 the fall
I'll do it with no help at all
I never did get that call
Man there was no help at all
