Cain Richey - Candlelight Lyrics

I know a few things about you that no one else could ever know
I know a few things I should not
I know that you tend to get quiet and telegraph your every woe
I'd give up so much for your cause

I feared the day that you would light the dark
And see these skeletons I've strung so far
Here's to hoping you would say you're colorblind
Candlelight brings color to my soul and mind

Oh

But you stopped looking for a reason long ago
So should I even clarify
My blood's already cold so you can't warm my soul
I thought you'd still give it a try

Your darkest secrets never changed my mind
I'd always be your guide
Gave me your trust I gave you mine
But when then the light revealed my demons
And I told you all their names
You never looked at me the same

I feared the day that you would light the dark
And see these skeletons I've strung so far
Here's to hoping you would say you're colorblind
Candlelight brings color to my soul and mind

Oh

But you stopped looking for a reason long ago
So should I even clarify
My blood's already cold so you can't warm my soul
I thought you'd still give it a try

My chest is open wide
Heart is torn apart
Thought we'd try the light
I kind of miss the dark
At least you couldn't see my sins
And I could hide
Quietly inside the lie

Please put away the candlelight
Please put away the candlelight oh

I was lying when I said to you
I didn't need your saving too
But you stepped back and closed the door to my room
Is it too late to put out the light
Turn back time
When all was right?
'Cause dancing in darkness felt just fine
