[Verse 1]

I guess you're off to have your fun

Another ending just begun

And I know what I don't see

Really shouldn't bother me

[Verse 2]

So go and have yourself a ball

You'll be at no one's beck and call

And with that fire in your eyes, another lover's moon will rise

Someone else will take the fall

[Chorus]

And that's just the way you are, I've known all along

Some candles always burn even when the night is gone

But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally

When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again

You can burn one down for me

[Verse 3]

So you don't matter anymore

I'll convince myself I'm sure

As if I give a damn

That's just the way I am

[Verse 4]

So go on and pour yourself some wine

With who'll ever spend your time

'Cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me

And you never were that kind

[Chorus]

And that's just the way you are, I've known all along

Some candles always burn even when the night is gone

But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally

When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again

You can burn one down for me

[Refrain]

When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again

You can burn one down for me
