Candle Lyrics


Shayna Leigh Candle


All that glows
May not grow

I won't wax romantic
But now I know

When the glitter flares
When it blinds and scares
When you panic,
You snuff it there.

We were immature
A pair of provocateurs
Too scared to be the flame

We were a candle
Never quite a fire
Flickering for a moment more than you could
A moment more than you could handle
Time is such a liar
Long enough to burn
Not to burn any higher
We sparked and expired
Leave it on the mantle
We were a candle

The smoke gets tough
When the flame heats up
We choke on shadows
Hanging over us
So douse it fast
Don't stir the ash
Better to smother
Than repeat the past

When we lost our mind
We were pretty while we shined
No blisters and no blame

We were a candle
Never quite a fire
Flickering for a moment more than you could
A moment more than you could handle
Time is such a liar
Long enough to burn
Not to burn any higher
We sparked and expired
Leave it on the mantle
We were a candle

I was the ignitor
Maybe it was you turned me into a fighter
Maybe there was something
Something more than desire

We were a candle
Never quite a fire
Flickering for a moment more than you could
A moment more than you could handle
Time is such a liar
Long enough to burn
Not to burn any higher
We sparked and expired
Leave it on the mantle
You were a candle
