Trick Candle

[Verse 1] Been stuck to you I don't wanna be They say seven years of bad luck That’s all you'll ever mean to me I shoulda gotten ahead of it All the times you didn't follow through And here, we’re in Connecticut [Pre-Chorus] You don't light the fire, just the match Tear my shirt then sew the patch Give me one thing I can keep [Chorus] You're always leavin' me in the dark with a trick candle Think I've blown out the spark for my phantom But the sweetness in your excuses let some turn into illusions Keepin' me in the dark [Verse 2] One summer I was seventeen Still never felt the way I did That first time that you looked at me Oh shit, not now, but not now The thought had meant more To think I know better now, no [Pre-Chorus] You don't lock the windows, just the door Was never mine but I was yours Give me one thing I can keep [Chorus] You're always leavin’ me in the dark with a trick candle Think I’ve blown out the spark for my phantom But the sweetness in your excuses let some turn into illusions Keepin' me in the dark [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] I was sad, is it gonna beat you on? I’ve made it past everything You're finally right here
