In Your Hands
Candlelight Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You seem lost and I will never make it home
I’ll never be that person that you used to know
No good fuck up and I am good for nothing else
And I was wrong, and know this will be just a failure
You were right, you were right, always right

And my, my heart in your hand
Right where you left it
My heart in your hand
Right where you left it

You think you’ve won just because you ran away
It shows me how you can be a coward
And I’ll never leave up to the bar that you have set
But you could not dance to your own rings if you had to
You were right, you were right, always right

And my, my heart in your hand
Right where you left it
My heart in your hand
Right where you left it

What did you think you would gain with it?
What did you think you would gain with it?
Am I just left to pain, since you’ve taken everything from me
You were right, you were right, always right

And my, my heart in your hand
Right where you left it
My heart in your hand
Right where you left it

What did you think you would gain with it?
What did you think you would gain with it?




Am I just left to pain, since you’ve taken everything from me
Everything from me, everything from me.
