Candlelight
Just a push away from dying, just one step from falling
 Nothing left but a broken heart and shards of glass
 I've felt this before, I know why you feel 
 A grave would be warmer than sleeping alone tonight
 You're someone I used to know, but then I found
 A rope dangling down, but instead I used it to climb out
 After someone else let me in then let me down
 Now you're sitting next to me desperately wondering
 How anyone can be so cold and how they can just shut the door
 
 And I know, you can barely stand to walk away
 It's sad, just how love drunk you've become
 
 You fall to your knees, and look down 
 See your hands, clenched and knuckles blazing white
 Now you understand that love is cruel
 And love is blind, that's why it hurts so bad 
 When it takes a swing at you
 
 SO just come home and go to bed
 With any luck tomorrow you'll be better
 You're on guard, but still you'll want more
 As you realize you can't live without, you start to fade 
 Like candlelight that once burned in your eyes
 So please, don't pull away, and I'll guide you
 Like candlelight that once burned in your eyes
