Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I took a ride on a February morning, Just getting over it and dealing with the mourning, I started thinking out loud: I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired, My baby's flying off the edge of the road, She's saying, "I'm so sorry about that note", That left me all alone, But I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired Somebody turn the lights on, Somebody tell me what's wrong, I'd be lying if I told you, Losing you was something I could handle, Somebody turn the lights on, Somebody tell me how long, All this darkness will surround you, Cause I'm burning for you, Burning like a candle Seven days since I've seen your face, Seven nights I have laid to waste, I'm burning out now, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, I know we're hanging at the end of the road, We've flown too high, make a swarm too low, I heard a screaming out loud, I heard a screaming out loud Somebody turn the lights on, Somebody tell me what's wrong, I'd be lying if I told you, Losing you was something I could handle, Somebody turn the lights on, Somebody tell me how long, All this darkness will surround you, Cause I'm burning for you, Burning like a candle Think, All the things that you say, What are the things that you mean, What are the things that you say to me, Cause your tragedy, A queen for his majesty, All this blasphemy, Your kingdom is crumbling, You're a tragedy, A queen for his majesty, All this blasphemy, Your kingdom is crumbling, Somebody turn the lights on, Somebody tell me what's wrong, I'd be lying if I told you, Losing you was something I could handle, Somebody turn the lights on, Somebody tell me how long, All this darkness will surround you, Cause I'm burning for you, Burning like a candle Burning for you, Burning like a candle, Burning for you, Burning like a candle
