The Burning Candle (EN)

The Burning Candle

The candle's burning in the dark room.
I'm alone, and hope is gone.
I stare at what I've made,
And the silence stays too long.

I ruined our love, left it split on the floor,
Now every little memory is getting sore, more and more.

I still act myself like I can hold you back,
But the night keeps telling me there ain't no turning back.
I said things I can't erase,
Now they circle in my head...

Burning candle, burning candle!
I let the whole thing fall...
Burning candle, burning candle!
I still hear your whispering call.
I broke us, I know, I lost my own soul,
Burning candle, burning candle!
I'm sorry for it all! For it all...

No one sits in your armchair,
No reflections in the glass.
I keep watching empty places,
Like you could come back fast.
I was proud, I was cruel,
I was blind to the cost.
Now the house feels too wide
With the best thing I lost...

I still act myself like I can hold you back,
But the night keeps telling me there ain't no turning back.
I said things I can't erase,
Now they circle in my head...

Burning candle, burning candle!
I let the whole thing fall...
Burning candle, burning candle!
I still hear your whispering call.
I broke us, I know, I lost my own soul,
Burning candle, burning candle!
I'm sorry for it all! For it all...

If you ever hear this song,
Don't treat it like a plea!
Read it like the wreckage
Of the man I used to be.
If there's any mercy left,
Let it rest on you!
I can't undo the damage,
But I can tell the truth.

Burning candle, burning candle!
I let the whole thing fall...
Burning candle, burning candle!
I still hear your whispering call (in echoes from the wall).
I broke us, I know, I lost my own soul,
Burning candle, burning candle!
I'm sorry for it all! For it all! For it all...
