Lyric

Not for the sake of anyone else, no

Just as I exist right here

You exist right there with meaning too

So don’t be sad, my dear

Ah

Is the world so cold? Is it filled with grief?

I know it feels that way, beyond belief

You might not see me in the dark of night

But I’m the only one with you in my sight

Hollow love and empty praise

Like candles dressed in pretty words and lace

Don’t look at anything else now

Ah

If you tell me to vanish into the dark

I’ll be gone in a heartbeat, leaving no spark

It’s just that I can’t leave you all alone

So I made myself a place next to your throne

The only one who can blow out this light is you

If you say the word, I’ll vanish from your view

Not for the sake of anyone else, no

Just as I exist right here

You exist right there with meaning too

So don’t be sad, my dear

To tell the truth, I hate those pretty lies

I’m sick of all the fake and shallow sighs

The silence drifts as the hours go by

So why won’t you blow out the flame in your eye?

If you keep it burning, I’ll want to stay

Even closer than I am today

Ah

Ah

If you tell me to vanish into the dark

I’ll be gone in a heartbeat, leaving no spark

Is everyone so cold? Well, at least I see

You haven’t blown the candle out on me

Ah

Hollow love and empty praise

Like candles dressed in pretty words and lace

Nobody wants to get hurt anymore

In this world, we’re all shaken to the core

If the light stays on, then I’ll stay here too

Without the pretty words, just me and you

Until the morning breaks

Even after the sun awakes

Ah
