You said you loved me,
I believed it, too.
Now that I'm crying,
Who should I cry to?
You played the actress,
I played the fool.
Stole my heart away,
Sent me searching for my soul.
I was a candle burning,
Burning in the rain.
You were a beacon shining,
Feeling no pain.
I was a candle burning,
Burning in the rain
You were a beacon shining,
Feeling no pain.
Kind little woman,
The kind that I don't need.
I was a prisoner,
But now I'm free.
You put me down,
One too many times.
Now it is my turn,
I'll be the one to fly.
All I wanted was to love you then,
A foolish lover and a foolish friend.
Something simple seemed to turn so strange,
Your love was hollow like an empty stage.
Then I was blind,
Now my eyes can see.
A love like yours is just the enemy,
Of all that's true and pure and kind.
You've taken all you could this time.
