After 7 years have gone by,
you decide to wander back into my life.
I was so excited it was easy for you to hear,
All these feelings resurging, but the strongest were love & fear.

The love & fear that someday, you would disappear.
The love & fear that someday, you would not be here.
I'm sorry that my past has made me feel this way,
but I do know one thing, my love for you will never change.

You blew out the candle, left me in the dark,
now my future seems so far,
I'd say I'm alone, but what's the difference I don't know.
You blew out the candle, left me in the dark.

You said you were fine, why would you lie I don't know,
you said you were hurt, why don't you cry I don't know.
You keep it to yourself, say you don't want to show,
why won't you tell me now how I'm supposed to know.

I would give you anything, if only you could ask,
but you don't, you just hide behind the mask.
The mask you show the world, the one that hides your fears.
The mask you show the world, the one that hides your silent tears.

Your biggest fear, is that you'll feel again,
I know that you don't want to hurt again.
You've been abandoned, left alone by all you love,
it seems I can't convince you, I won't do any of the above.

So you blew out the candle, left me in the dark,
now my future seems so far,
I'd say I'm alone, but what's the difference I don't know.
You blew out the candle, left me in the dark.

You've been running away, from these feelings all your life,
I'm here to tell you, to feel is all right.
You don't have to be afraid, you don't ever have to hide,
I'll be waiting here for you, for the rest of your life.

Still you decide to keep these feelings to yourself,
It seems you're afraid of love itself.
You say you feel alone, I'm sorry that I failed,
I try to show you my love, but you say I'm not able.

So I sit here & light this lone candle,
while I struggle with feeling & try to get a handle.
Hoping this light, will guide you back to me,
sitting alone in the dark with just my silent plea.

You blew out the candle, left me in the dark,
my future is fading, like a dying star.
I'd say I'm alone, you'd say we're worlds apart.
You blew out the candle, left me in the dark.

Thank you for taking the time to read, I know the melody doesn't come across, and I apologise for that.
