Candle Burning Fast

Verse 1

I woke up to an empty chair

The coffee still warm on the counter

Nobody told me time was a thief

That it slips through your hands like water

Pre-Chorus

And I keep reaching for a voice that faded

I keep running from the words I never said

Chorus

So hold on tight to the ones you love

Life is a candle burning fast

Hold on tight to the ones you love

You don't know what you have

Till it's gone

Till it's gone forever

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Till it's gone forever

Oh-oh oh-oh

Verse 2

I counted every single mile

Between forgiveness and my pride

Took a photograph of a better day

But the picture never held the light

Pre-Chorus

And I would trade a thousand tomorrows

Just to hear them call my name one more time

Chorus

So hold on tight to the ones you love

Life is a candle burning fast

Hold on tight to the ones you love

You don't know what you have

Till it's gone

Till it's gone forever

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Till it's gone forever

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bridge

Tear the walls down brick by brick

Love and peace are all we get

Reach across the great divide

Before the moment says goodbye

Chorus

Hold on tight to the ones you love

Life is a candle burning fast

Hold on tight to the ones you love

You don't know what you have

Till it's gone

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Till it's gone forever

Oh-oh oh-oh

Till it's gone forever
