Hold A Candle

Loyalty to a losing cause is fool-hard stubbornness

Sam told me I should use my mind and my cell phone a little less

Cause I lost time and money

On a Florida honey who was right-wing religious

What is wrong with me to be this keen on someone so careless?

Bless my soul

She'll never bring me home

Hopes and dreams

She'd rather do alone

And I'll just fold

Cause I don't gamble

So you have fun

And I'll hold a candle

I'll hold a candle

When my mom asks me why you don't come around that much

And my closest friends scratch their heads that we are still in touch

Cause I will give you a light at the end of the night

And watch you leave with him

I'm a shelter pet that you regret

Doe eyed and sad as sin

Bless my soul

She'll never bring me home

Hopes and dreams

She'd rather do alone

And I'll just fold

Cause I don't gamble

So you have fun

And I'll hold a candle

And the wax will burn my knuckles 'til their red

And I'll think about the words Sammy said

I was meant for more than blistered fingers and cold feet

For someone to be proudly seen with me

Bless my soul

She'll never bring me home

Hopes and dreams

She'd rather do alone

And I'll just fold

Cause I don't gamble

So you have fun

And I'll hold a candle

I'll hold a candle
