Candle Songtext
von All Our Exes Live in Texas

Mother said you'd wind up here, written into song
I have to say I'm sorry, for it's taken me so long to write about you
And maybe breaking your sweetheart is what I had to do
But don't worry, baby, for I've broken my heart too in losing you

'Cause though I see our candles going out (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah...)
I have to say, I've got my doubts (Ooh oo-ooh, ooh-ooh...)
Things have been going so well (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah...)
It seems a shame to walk through hell together just to say goodbye


We both know I'll stay resolved in what I have to do
Even if it's just because my mother told me to - she never got you
And yes, I see the irony, it's all becoming clear
But finally, I write for you a song you'll never hear, isn't it funny?

'Cause though I see our candles going out (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah...)
I have to say, I've got my doubts (Ooh oo-ooh, ooh-ooh...)
Things have been going so well (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah...)
It seems a shame to walk through hell together just to say goodbye

And I'll see you one more time (One more time)
Just to make things right
Yes, I'll love you one more time
Through the dark of the night


'And though I see our candles going out (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah...)
I have to say, I've got my doubts (Ooh oo-ooh, ooh-ooh...)
Things have been going so well (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah...)
It seems a shame to walk through hell together just to say goodbye
