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
