Light my life with candles
So I can see when I'll burn out
Let the flame flicker in the wind
Dancing to the beat of the breeze
Both careful and care-free
Fragile as fine crystal
But still can scorch the earth
Ever present trail of wax
Shows the path I traveled
For better or for worse
Shine brightest in the night
All but forgotten in the sun
Light a fire at both ends
Burn myself out quickly
Before i fade away

Light my life with candles
So I can see when I'll burn out
Let the flame flicker in the wind
Dancing to the beat of the breeze
Both careful and care-free
Fragile as fine crystal
But still can scorch the earth
Ever present trail of wax
Shows the path I traveled
For better or for worse
Shine brightest in the night
All but forgotten in the sun
Light a fire at both ends
Burn myself out quickly
Before i fade away
