Candles Getting Shorter

And the candle's getting shorter
And the flame has nearly gone
You didn't love me like you oughta have done
Why do I, why do I keep on crying?
Why do I, why do I keep on crying?

How long will the sadness last?
Will it be too long before it's past?
Have I been so hopelessly outclassed?
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I've cried
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I've cried

It doesn't really matter if I wake onе day
And find you didn't wanna stay
My heart will just go on pretending
That I didn't lovе or want you anyway, no

And the candle's getting shorter
And the flame has nearly gone
You didn't love me like you oughta have done
Why do I, why do I keep on crying?
Why do I, why do I keep on crying?

How long will the sadness last?
Will it be too long before it's past?
Have I been so hopelessly outclassed?
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I've cried
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I've cried

It doesn't really matter if I wake up one day
And find you didn't wanna stay
My heart will just go on pretending, yes it will
That I didn't love or want you anyway, no

And the candle's getting shorter
And the flame has nearly gone
You didn't love me like you oughta have done

And the candle's getting shorter
And the flame has nearly gone
You didn't love me like you oughta have done

And the candle's getting shorter
And the flame has nearly gone
