There's some things you could never get used to
Some things drive you up the wall
I don't know how to put it
But I wish I never started at all.
When some things you could never get a hold of
Some things that you've fallen real for
Tonight I want to say it
But I've already tried anyway.
So I'm blowing the candles out one at a time.
One at a time.
I said please baby let me go
And get your hands off my radio.
I'll get that head out of your hair
You'll never have to care anymore.
Every now then I miss
The way things used to be
Then I get reminded of
The years of misery
Are you listening to me?
Can you hear me? Can you? No.
So I'm blowing the candles out one last time.
One last time.
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Bought alcohol
