Five Candles (You Were There)

A promise or a dare

I would jump if I knew you'd catch me

Staring over the edge

I can't tell if you'll be here for me

I close my eyes and make a wish

Turn out the lights and take a breath

Pray that when the wick is burned

You would say that it's all about love

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were never here

I remember you said

Love was more than your good intentions

Empty boxes on the floor

Things I never asked you for

I pray that when the wick is burned

You would say that it's all about love

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

I can't see the promise of

Excuses you fall upon

I pray to God not holding on

To things you've left undone

(2x):

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were there when I

You were there when I

You were there when I needed you
