Candlelight
Zhavia Ward Lyrics

Burn, burn, burn, burn
Repeating the word as emphasis

Dark space
Feeling lost and alone

I'm slipping into dangerous ways?
Feeling like you're going down the wrong path

Looking for a familiar face
Seeking comfort from someone you know

Not too far from home
Seeking comfort from someone nearby

And it's all
It's all overwhelming

It's all, oh, too much
It's all too much to handle

When you can't see the shiny under the rust
When you are unable to see the good in things

So you hide away, sheltered from the rain
You want to protect yourself from the negativity around you

And I've been getting tired of these letters
Feeling overwhelmed by the problems you've been dealing with

I see you writing on the walls
Seeing the warning signs of trouble ahead

And I've been walking though my own disaster
Feeling like your life is a mess

Thinking it's time to move on
Realizing it's time to make a change

I don't wanna run from a bullet
Not wanting to run away from problems

Gotta leave my candlelight burning
Holding onto hope and positivity

If it goes out, I will lose it
If you lose hope, you might lose everything

Gotta let my candlelight burn, burn, burn
Keep a positive outlook regardless of what's going on

I feel something pulling
Feeling a desire to change

Here I lay
Feeling defeated and helpless

In my bed with everything I hate
Feeling trapped in a negative situation

Dreaming of a distant place
Daydreaming of a better life

But I'm half way gone
Feeling like you're already giving up

Do you love or do you cry?
Questioning whether you should focus on the negative or the positive

Do you give up or do you try?
Questioning whether you should try or give up

Do you live a lie or live a life?
Questioning whether you should pretend everything's okay or try to make it better

Oh my, oh my/ who am I?
Feeling confused and unsure of yourself
