I've seen the vultures circle overhead
And I thought nothing more of it
I've seen the angels line up at your door
I wasn't scared when they asked for more
Of what I knew deep down
You didn't have and never did

Can you even remember what your dream is?
You've walked a thousand miles
So people you dislike could wear a smile
So are you just a pawn in all their games?

'Cos you've got nothing left to give
You've stayed too long again
You've burnt your candle at both ends
And I'll be waiting in this spot
For you and your return
And instead of letting you give up
I'll see you get what you deserve

Do you hear whispers in your ear at night?
I know the friends that guard your side
Through thick and thin they steer you through the pain
Of a life that hasn't gone your way
So you try to repay
Those who have stood by you
But the more you relay
The more others want from you

You've stayed too long again
You've burnt your candle at both ends
And I'll be waiting in this spot
For you and your return
And instead of letting you give up
I'll see you get what you deserve

You've stayed too long again
You've burnt your candle at both ends
And I'll be waiting in this spot
For you and your return
And instead of letting you give up
I'll see you get what you deserve
