Fighting Darkness With a Candle

You weren't built for conversation
You weren't built for love
You can take everything from me
It will never be enough
It will never be enough

There are limits to what the heart can handle
And images I'd hoped to see
Fighting darkness with a candle
When there's a light inside of me

Splintered touch and battered soul
Calling all my demons from below
Through prayer and the sound of church bells
I'm turning all my demons into angels
I'm turning all my demons into angels
I'm turning all my demons into angels

Tears don't often fall from stone
But sometimes when I'm all alone
I remember how I used to be
Full of fire and wild and free

I know that I'm still human
But I'm haunted by your ghost
I can't believe I ever thought
You'd love me the most
It isn't quite impossible
But I'd say it's pretty close
And now it's time I let you go

Sent a shiver up my spine
When I saw you last time
Your silence chilled me to the bone
I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone

To my heart, you were a vandal
When I thought you were just a thief
I was fighting darkness with a candle
But there's a light inside of me
