I've got bills piled up, and bank accounts going down,
It won't be long 'til I'm begging for coins on a corner downtown,
It's getting hard to sleep, ya know I'm worried all the time,
And you'd think by now as hard as I work I'd be doing just fine,
I'm living on the edge of disaster
And that's all I've ever really known,
I've been down a million times before
But I guess I've never been this low
chorus:
Feeling like a candle, hoping that the wind don't blow,
Doing all I can to shed a little light on a troubled soul, Just like a candle, hoping that the wind don't blow,
Yeah, I'm like a candle
But tomorrow's gonna come, ya know I'll try it all again,
Just wanna have a couple bucks left over after the family's fed,
If it's too much to ask, well hell I'll ask anyway,
It's hard to keep smiling when you're down on your luck,
In the struggle each day,
Doing all I can is never enough,
But I guess that's the way it goes,
Maybe I'm whining or feeling sorry,
But there's one thing I know for sure,
chorus:
bridge:
They say he won't give you more than you can handle,
but sometimes I think He just lost count,
My flame's burning low and it's flickering,
but I know it won't be put out....cuz any day now.
