i once was a candle with an everlasting wick
i'd burn & burn and never slip
one day i met you in a very dark place
i shined even brighter so i could see your face
you stood in the shadows and you stand there still
my flame reaches for you but you never will
the days pass by quickly and my light seems more dim
if i could only get to you we both could win
but you cower and hide from me, always aloof
eventually my fire will die
