[Verse 1]
A candle glows just like it knows
I need a little bit of light right now
And as it burns, I see the flame
It looks alive, I wish I felt the same
A whiskey drink to wash it down
Another swig of that sweet amber brown
In the bottom, I see your smile
I just want to drink a little, a little while

[Chorus]
Hold on, everything's fine
Can't you hear the words I'm saying this time
I'd give you everything that I've made
But now all my sins can never be paid

[Verse 2]
Dig me up when I am dead
And you will see what's in my head
I hope then that it’s all clear
It's just not there for me to say, my dear
I'm getting tired, just want to rest
Lay my head on your tender breast
But I'm alone, and scared to death
I just need some time to catch my breath
[Chorus]
Hold on, everything's fine
Can't you hear the words I'm saying this time
I'd give you everything that I've made
But now all my sins can never be paid

[Outro]
But there's hope in my heart
That we can't stay apart
For long
I need for this to be true
