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
