Candles in the dark

She grabs here coat and locks the door
She starts another day of work
Tried to carry on so no one
Could see how much she hurts

She tells friends that she's ok
Nothing further from her mind
Since that day he walked away
She kept it all inside

She didn't feel this lonely
The night he walked away
She hadn't cried her heart out
Since yesterday
She's tried to fight it
But they've lost that spark
Now she's sitting alone again
With candles in the dark

Another Friday night the girls
Are meeting down at Bobby's bar
She said that she might tag alone
But she gets that far

She ain't ready for romance
Doesn't want to take the chance
She wished that things had turned out right for them
He's gonna be with her 'till the end

She didn't feel this lonely
The night he walked away
She hadn't cried her heart out
Since yesterday
She's tried to fight it
But they've lost that spark
Now she's sitting alone again
With candles in the dark

She knows someday she's gonna have to move on
She's trying hard but she can't seem to be that strong

She didn't feel this lonely
The night he walked away
She hadn't cried her heart out
Since yesterday
She's tried to fight it
Oh - She's not that strong
Now she's sitting alone again
With candles in the dark

With candles in the dark
With candles in the dark
Alone again with candles in the dark
