Light Another

Light another candle and I'll hold it up

To the years gone by, see if I'm keeping up

To the man in the mirror staring back at me

I'm hoping I can prove I'm still who I wanna be, oh

Every February puts a spell on me

There's a weight that takes me down and brings me to my knees

But I can't outrun the clock and I can't ever catch up

I'm trying to earn my stay but it ain't ever enough, oh

I feel my pulse and now it's racing

The voice inside me keeps on saying

"Oh, why don't you?"

No one wants to say it, but you know it's true

We're just keeping up the curtains

So they won't see through

To the script that I've been reading

And the dirt on my face

Just keeping up appearance is a high price to pay, oh

I feel my pulse and now it's racing

The voice inside me keeps on saying

"Oh, well, why don't you?"

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to

And no one wants to be alone

I've been fighting these fears out on my own

For as long as I know

As long as I can remember

And for a moment I might get some peace

But it tracks me down again

And haunts me in my sleep

I know what I need, trying to get free

But I'm still falling, the voice is calling

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to

Save yourself, save yourself

You know I'll try to, you know I'll try

Light another candle and I'll hold it up

To the years gone by, see if I'm keeping up now
