Every time I look at a candle
watch it melt and struggle to stay lit
I think of life
growing older and getting closer to the end
the flame grows after being lit
then fades when it reaches the end
when there is nothing left to burn
I grow into this world as you did
soon we'll just fade away to our ending
because we're old and decaying
we faded away just like the candle
the candle faded when there was nothing left to burn
our lives fade when there's nothing left to live
so every time I look at a candle
watch it brighten in light
then fade away
I think of lives that come and gone
to disappear
just like the candle
