I guess you're off to have your fun Another ending just begun And I know what I don't see Really shouldn't bother me So go and have yourself a ball You'll be at no one's beck and call And with that fire in your eyes Another lover's moon will rise And someone else will take the fall And that's just the way you are, I've known all along Some candles always burn even when the night is gone But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me So you don't matter anymore I'll convince myself, I'm sure As if I give a damn That's just the way I am So go on and pour yourself some wine With who'll ever spend your time 'Cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me And you never were that kind And that's just the way you are, I've known all along Some candles always burn even when the night is gone But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me
