[intro] don’t blow it out yet… just let it flicker… a little longer… [verse 1] lace falling off my shoulder slow you used to say you liked it so soft light dancing on the walls like you’re still here… but you’re not at all… perfume faded in the air I turn around like you’re still there shadows play their little games they almost whisper out your name… [pre-chorus] I keep the lights down low for you… like you might walk back into the room… [chorus] candlelit memories… they burn too close to me… dripping wax like broken dreams… nothing’s ever what it seems… candlelit memories… you still live in everything… in every flicker, every glow… in every place I can’t let go… [verse 2] silk slips whisper on my skin like where your hands have always been I dress up like you might appear but you’ve been gone for how long, dear… I trace your name in melted wax watch it bend and fade to black every flame’s a little lie saying you’ll come back tonight… [pre-chorus 2] I know it’s all inside my head… but I relive the words you said… like they’re still true… [chorus] candlelit memories… they burn too close to me… soft and cruel, they never leave… you’re still hiding in between… candlelit memories… dancing like you’re touching me… in every flicker, every glow… you’re the thing I can’t let go… [bridge] would you love me in this light…? all blurred edges, soft and white… if I stayed just like before… waiting by the bedroom door… I’d let the whole world fade away… just to keep you in this place… [outro – slowed] candle… dripping… burning low… I don’t wanna let you go… blow it out…? no… not yet… just one more… memory…
