Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I light a candle for you tonight, yeah
Said, I reminisce over you, babe
Reminisce over you, yeah
Listen
[Verse 2]
Should've spent more time, been a part of your life
Made you more a part of mine, I guess it's too late now
I shoulda been a better friend and done my best to understand you
But still it's hard to think that we're done, we're through
[Verse 3]
Now what would you do, tell me, if I left you out of the blue?
Would you fight back tears while your heart gets torn to pieces?
'Cause that's what I did when you left me
When you left me out of the blue
Love can feel so good and then, suddenly it's over, yeah
[Verse 4]
I shoulda been more true, takin' better care of you
Like I was supposed to, guess it's too late now
I shoulda told you how I felt instead of thinkin' of myself
Still I can't believe you went away so soon
[Verse 5]
Now what would you do if I left you out of the blue?
Would you fight back tears while your heart gets torn to pieces?
'Cause that's what I did when you left me
When you left me out of the blue
It's funny how love feels good and then suddenly it's over
[Verse 6]
Now when I ask myself, it's hard to see
How you could be anywhere but here with me
You said that you needed space and time
So you would be able to make up your mind
Said if I set you free, one day you'd be ready to come back to me, yeah
[Verse 7]
Did you really mean it? (Hope you did) Hope you meant it, babe
[Verse 8]
Now what would you do if I left you out of the blue?
If I left you out of the blue, would you lose your mind and go crazy?
'Cause I, I almost died when you left me, baby
When you left me out of the blue
Love can feel so good and then suddenly it's over
[Verse 9]
So what would you do if I left you out of the blue?
Said would it make you cry, keep you awake at night?
Would it leave your heart sick and lonely?
'Cause that's what you did, baby, when you left me out of the blue
It's funny how love feels so good and then suddenly it's over
[Verse 10]
That's right, I light a candle for you tonight, babe
Yes, I will, yes, will 'cause I'm missin' you
So I light a candle for you, baby
For us, for me and you
[Verse 11]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
