Wait for you
In a darkened room
Light a lantern
I wait and watch
The shadows
I try to give it up
A candle you lit
Is not a light for me
I have a memory

A lantern
Without oil does the fire go out
I have no doubt
In all this doubt
That I'll be left in darkness

I tried to save a soul
Or maybe two
I failed you
I failed myself
You watched my fall
And not a helping hand
But a knife in the back
I feel you twist
You tell me that you miss me
You really don't
Your not you anymore

A lantern
If there's no oil does the fire go out
I have no doubt
I have my broken hands
I'm punching walls

You aren't you
I'm not me
What we used to be
Never again
So why pretend
