Soften your penitence
It's not your fate
Release the weight
Of shouldering afterthoughts
Of watching them fade
Oh I can relate
But deciding your innocence
It's not mine to make
You're not mine to save
You're not mine
Where does it go, where does it go?
This one, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you don't deserve the hurt you're going through
Let me take it from you
Where does it go, where does it go?
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you, don't deserve the pain you're going through
Let me take it away
You flicker so gently
Yet light up the hall
We dance on the walls
As shadows flee after you
The great and the small
You better us all
You better us
Where does it go, where does it go?
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you don't deserve the hurt you're going through
Let me take it away
Where does it go? it comes and goes
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you don't deserve the pain you're going through
You shined a light for me, reflecting light for you
Well, I'm too far to save so let me take your pain
Let me take it from you
Let me take it away, away, away
Where does it go, where does it go?
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you gave me the strength that pulled me through
Now let me take it from you (this sadness from you)

Soften your penitence
It's not your fate
Release the weight
Of shouldering afterthoughts
Of watching them fade
Oh I can relate
But deciding your innocence
It's not mine to make
You're not mine to save
You're not mine
Where does it go, where does it go?
This one, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you don't deserve the hurt you're going through
Let me take it from you
Where does it go, where does it go?
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you, don't deserve the pain you're going through
Let me take it away
You flicker so gently
Yet light up the hall
We dance on the walls
As shadows flee after you
The great and the small
You better us all
You better us
Where does it go, where does it go?
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you don't deserve the hurt you're going through
Let me take it away
Where does it go? it comes and goes
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you don't deserve the pain you're going through
You shined a light for me, reflecting light for you
Well, I'm too far to save so let me take your pain
Let me take it from you
Let me take it away, away, away
Where does it go, where does it go?
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you gave me the strength that pulled me through
Now let me take it from you (this sadness from you)
It's not your fate
Release the weight
Of shouldering afterthoughts
Of watching them fade
Oh I can relate
But deciding your innocence
It's not mine to make
You're not mine to save
You're not mine
Where does it go, where does it go?
This one, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you don't deserve the hurt you're going through
Let me take it from you
Where does it go, where does it go?
This time, for the last time, baby, I know
A little candle like you, don't deserve the pain you're going through
Let me take it away
You flicker so gently
