Trick Candle

[Verse 1]
Been stuck to you
I don't wanna be
They say seven years of bad luck
That’s all you'll ever mean to me
I shoulda gotten ahead of it
All the times you didn't follow through
And here, we’re in Connecticut

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't light the fire, just the match
Tear my shirt then sew the patch
Give me one thing I can keep

[Chorus]
You're always leavin' me in the dark with a trick candle
Think I've blown out the spark for my phantom
But the sweetness in your excuses let some turn into illusions
Keepin' me in the dark

[Verse 2]
One summer I was seventeen
Still never felt the way I did
That first time that you looked at me
Oh shit, not now, but not now
The thought had meant more
To think I know better now, no

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't lock the windows, just the door
Was never mine but I was yours
Give me one thing I can keep

[Chorus]
You're always leavin’ me in the dark with a trick candle
Think I’ve blown out the spark for my phantom
But the sweetness in your excuses let some turn into illusions
Keepin' me in the dark

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
I was sad, is it gonna beat you on?
I’ve made it past everything
You're finally right here
