[Verse 1]
Memory is cheap, what does it mean?
People are free until they’re not free
Memory is fake, what did you see?
People are here until they’re not here

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t leave
I never said the right things
Hold on, don’t leave me
I didn’t do the right things

[Chorus]
Burn the candles
Burn the candles
Dead and gone
Dead and gone for good

[Chorus]
Burn the candles
Burn the candles
Dead and gone
Dead and gone for good

[Verse 2]
I sit up in the dark and wait for you to speak
They say god made the world so he could take it away

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t leave
I never said the right things
Hold on, don’t leave me
I didn’t do the right things

[Chorus]
Burn the candles
Burn the candles

Dead and gone
Dead and gone for good

[Chorus]
Burn the candles
Burn the candles
Dead and gone
Dead and gone for good
Yet they’re here still

[Outro]
People are here
Then there’s nothing
