Both Ends Of The Candle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been trying so hard to forget you
But this chore of forgetting i find
Has me burning both ends of the candle
And fighting a battle with time
What i'd give just to sleep for a moment
But it's a luxury that i can't afford
For i know i would just dream about you
And my tears would start falling once more
So i'm burning both ends of the candle
I just hope that it lasts through the night
For each moment the candle is burning
It brings closer the ending of life
