Candle in the Window (version 2)

Verse

Rain on the glass where we used to sit

Candle burns down past my wrist

Same old lamp, same worn seat

Only thing that's changed is me

Pre-Chorus

I don't need it lit like I used to

Just the quiet that gets through

Every window tells a version of what I'm leaving behind

Still I let it go tonight

Chorus

So I'll blow this flame just so

Not for gold or holding on, no

It's the smoke before the light

I keep breathing till it's mine to hold in my hands tonight

Verse 2

Your coat still hangs by the door

Same old chair where you'd lean against the floor

City hums through a seam I never fixed

Halfway gone but I don't miss what isn't

Pre-Chorus

I don't need it lit like I used to

Just the quiet that gets through

Every window tells a version of what I'm leaving behind

Still I let it go tonight

Chorus

So I'll blow this flame just so

Not for gold or holding on, no

It's the smoke before the light

I keep breathing till it's mine to hold in my hands tonight

Bridge

Maybe fire was never what I needed anyway

Just a shape of something better kept inside

Chorus

So I'll blow this flame just so

Not for gold or holding on, no

It's the smoke before the light

I keep breathing till it's mine to hold in my hands tonight
