In my last years with him, there were bruises on my face
In my dawn and new day
I finally got away
My head's all messed up and he knows just what to say
No more dawn and new days
I'm goin' back to stay

So why
Say "bye bye"?
When it only
Makes me cry

I still light up like a candle burnin' when he calls me up
I still melt down like a candle burnin' every time we touch

Oh, say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
But I still
Be lovin' you, baby, and it's much too much

We are going down
'Cause you're always getting high
And your crumbs of lovin'
No longer get me by

Wow, it gets better
Every time that we get high
Then your crumbs of lovin'
They somehow get me by

Why
Say "bye bye"?
When it only
Makes me cry

I still light up like a candle burnin' when he calls me up (yeah, yeah)
I still melt down like a candle burnin' every time we touch
I still light up like a candle burnin' when he calls me up
I still melt down like a candle burnin' every time we touch

Oh, say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
I
Be lovin' you, baby, and it's much too much

And I go my severed way
Some rain for my sunny day
Not even one reason to stay
Why
I should've left you?
Why
I can't forget you baby?
Why
Ever since I met you it's why (why)
Still

I still light up like a candle burnin' when he calls me up
Melt down like a candle burnin' every time we touch
Light up like a candle burnin' when he calls me up
Melt down like a candle burnin' every time we touch

Oh, say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
And I
Be lovin' you, baby, and it's much too much
