The candle lights were slowly flickering
You looked so handsome in their glow
How could I know that I would never again
Have the feelings your love once bestowed
The thought that you would ever betray
One who would give her life for you
Had never even crossed my trusting mind
Until you told me we were through
What does your new love offer that I don't give
How could she possibly care more that I
You're starting a brand new life with her
While I wallow in misery and cry
Years have passed and we've both moved on
I've found someone whose love is true
But I still can't watch a candle glowing
Without bitter thoughts of you
