when the candles are mine Lyrics

How do I get over this?

Just like me to reminisce

Now every day's a chance to miss

The ones I had with

You were supposed to stay

Be there when I graduate

Only got like six birthdays

I still wish for

You

The last thing that I ever said

I'd always meant to write by hand but it was in a text instead

I really hope you

Read and now selfishly

I need to know that you believed

Whatever voice comes from me

I found because of

You didn't choose

But why didn't I get to see you

Or say goodbye

There's no letter

To make me feel better

When the candles they're lighting are mine I still wish for you

Every time

They all say you're here with me

But I can't tell, honestly

Sometimes I think I'm forgetting my memories with

You told me to never change

And I am trying everyday

But I can't seem to recreate

How I was with

You didn't choose

But why didn't I get to see you

Or say goodbye

There's no letter

To make me feel better

When the candles they're lighting are mine I still wish for you

Every time

I dropped out of college

You said there's no bad knowledge

But knowing life without you feels pretty bad

You asked me to keep writing

I asked you to keep fighting

Only one of us kept our promises

You didn't choose

But why didn't I get to see you

Did you not want to say goodbye?

I know no letter

Will ever make this better

But I'm still writing mine

In it I wish for you

Every time
