Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my last years with him
There were bruises on my face
In my dawn and new day
I finally got away
[Verse 2]
But my head's all messed up
And he knows just what to say
No more dawn and new days
I'm goin' back to stay
[Verse 3]
So why say bye bye
When it only makes me cry?
[Verse 4]
I still light up
Like a candle burnin'
When he calls me up
I still melt down
Like a candle burnin'
Every time we touch
[Verse 5]
Oh, say what you will
He does me wrong
And I should be gone
But I still
Be lovin' you baby
And it's much too much
[Verse 6]
We are going down
'Cause you're always getting high
And your crumbs of loving
No longer get me by
[Verse 7]
Well, it gets better
Every time that we get high
Then your crumbs of loving
They somehow get me by
[Verse 8]
Why say bye bye
When it only makes me cry?
[Verse 9]
I still light up
Like a candle burnin'
When he calls me up
I still melt down
Like a candle burnin'
Every time we touch
[Verse 10]
I still light up
Like a candle burnin'
When he calls me up
I still melt down
Like a candle burnin'
Every time we touch
[Verse 11]
Oh, say what you will
He does me wrong
And I should be gone
And I've been loving you baby
And it's much too much
[Verse 12]
And I go my severed way
Some rain for my sunny day
Not even one
Reason to stay
[Verse 13]
Why?
I should've left you
Why?
I can't forget you baby
Why?
Ever since I met you
It's why
Still
Still
[Verse 14]
Light up like a candle burnin'
(I still)
When he calls me up
Melt down like a candle burnin'
Every time we touch
[Verse 15]
Light up like a candle burnin'
(I still)
When he calls me up
(I still)
Melt down like a candle burnin'
Every time we touch
[Verse 16]
Oh, say what you will
He does me wrong
And I should be gone
And I've been lovin' you baby
And it's much too much
