[Verse 1] I light a candle Just for you I just can't handle The things that you do You made me smile You made me laugh But that was only for a while [Chorus] 'Cause you made me half In my heart I can feel the pain Take a look at my eyes On the stains of blood is my name Behind walls of fear the truth hides [Verse 2] I light a candle Because of you I never can handle What you do Sometimes I cry and sometimes I don't Wonder if I'd been older would I have known That sometimes life's so hard and cold But I must be grateful for what I'm told [Chorus] There's so many words inside of me But so little almost nothing comes out It feels like a leaf on a tree When I sing these words out loud [Bridge] You went away leaving emptiness It's the same story all over again But I tell you nonetheless You were neither mother nor friend You abandoned me when I needed you You never even said goodbye What was a little boy to do And you never told this boy why (Why!) [Chorus] I light a candle Just for you I just can't handle The things that you do So the story continues ahead Playing the same part over again Drying my eyes till they once go wet [Outro] You were neither mother nor friend Neither mother nor friend Neither mother nor friend
