A Candle for Lost Love - Kong Lyrics

I bought one candle yesterday
From the shop beneath your old apartment
Not because I thought you'd come back
I just remembered how you hated darkness
You'd light one when the power went out
And sit beside the kitchen sink
You said the little flame made the room
Feel less alone than you did
Tonight the lights are working
But I left the room in black
I lit that little candle
And let the silence answer back
A candle for lost love
One flame for what we were
I won't ask the night to give you back
I just let it burn
A candle for lost love
Burning where you used to be
Some things don't need a second chance
They just need to be seen
I watched the wax run slowly
Down the side and onto the plate
It looked like all the words we swallowed
Finding somewhere to escape
You always blew them out too early
Said nothing good should burn too long
I used to laugh when you said that
Now I know what you meant all along
The flame kept getting smaller
But I didn't turn away
Maybe endings look less frightening
When you watch them fade
A candle for lost love
One flame for what we were
I won't ask the night to give you back
I just let it burn
A candle for lost love
Burning where you used to be
Some things don't need a second chance
They just need to be seen
I thought love was something
You either kept or lost
Something with a clear beginning
And a clean final cost
But maybe some love stays behind
In the person it helped you become
Maybe losing you didn't erase us
It just changed what"us" means now
So I won't blow this candle out
Just because the room is bright
I'll let it finish on its own
Like we did that night
A candle for lost love
One flame for what we were
I won't ask the night to give you back
I just let it burn
A candle for lost love
For every word we couldn't say
For the life that almost happened
And quietly slipped away
A candle full of love still burning next to me
Not to call you home again
Just to honor what you gave me
A candle for lost love
Getting smaller in the dark
And when the flame is finally gone
I'll still remember the spark
The wax has reached the table
The flame is almost gone
I don't feel like crying
I don't feel okay
I just sit here until the last light disappears
Then I leave the room without turning back
