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
