Lyrics

when i look back on the friends i've made, and think how few of them remain, i would not be ashamed to say, i'm lucky i became, a candle for the flame, looking back at the money i made, there are those who say i threw it all away, gone to family and friends, but i would do it again, 'cause it helped me to remain, a candle for the flame, it shone so bright, on my darkest night, i never felt myself alone, and i always believed, that it shined just for me, a light i'd always known, would guide my way back home, i have tasted the wine of regret, i have wasted the secrets i kept, but i would not be afraid to say, i'm lucky i remained, a candle to the flame, no, i would not be ashamed to say, i'm lucky i became, a candle for the flame
