Candles

Soften your penitence It's not your fate Release the weight Of shouldering after-thoughts Of watching them fade Oh I can relate But deciding your innocence It's not mine to make You're not mine to save

You're not mine…

Where does it go? Where does it go? This one, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the hurt you're going through

Let me take it from you

Where does it go? Where does it go? This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the pain you're going through

Let me take it away

You flicker so gently Yet light up the hall We dance on the walls

As shadows flee after you The great and the small You better us all You better us…

Where does it go? Where does it go? This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the hurt you're going through

Let me take it away

Where does it go? It comes and goes This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the pain you're going through

You shined a light for me Reflecting light for you I'm too far to save So let me take your pain

Let me take it from you Let me take it away

Where does it go? Where does it go? This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Gave me the strength that pulled me through

Now let me take it from you This sadness from you
