Burnin' both ends of a candle
Is hard upon your heart
And it's just because you love me
You go to church on Sunday
You do the best you can, with who I am
And I know what I put you through
You do the best you can, with who I am
And you worry 'bout your man
Sweetheart, I understand
And it's just that you're concerned for me
And I know what I put you through
And it's just that you're concerned for me
Oh, can leave one in the dark
Sleepin' off the night I had before
Burnin' both ends of a candle
But you hate it most when I don't call at night
And sometimes not worth a damn
And sometime you say I'm perfect
You do the best you can, with who I am
You do the best you can, with who I am
Is hard upon your heart
While I'm still home in bed
Oh, can leave one in the dark
Sweetheart, I understand
