Lyrics
I never thought I needed a candle
As much as I do
And I never thought I'd need anyone
As much as I need you
Are you the one that will always shine?
Are you the one that will always be mine?
Or will you burn out like all the others
Only shinning for a moment
And then start to flutter ooo?
I can always hold my hand in the flame
But I can only take so much pain
If it starts to hurt more then I can bear
Then I will blow the candle out and be rid of you my dear, ooo
(repeat)
If it starts to hurt more then I can bear
Then I will blow the candle out
And be rid of you my dear, ooo.
