You lit a candle in my heart
You swore it'd never die
Your love would be eternal
However low or high

But I feel the flame weaken
When gazing in your eyes
The sincerity is gone now
All I can see are lies

Another star has fallen
Another love not true
The wind blew out the candle
The fire left with you
