You said you'd light a candle and you'd say a prayer for me   Well I feel the light has dimmed and gone   And half the world is begging while the other half steals   Oh where did everything go wrong?      Well some days I can't believe   Others I'm on my knees   Trying to be heard      I was your anger and you were my fear   and now that it's over, of course it's so clear   But you were no angel and I was no sin   But somehow I can't let it go, can't let it go      Half the world is sleeping while the other half dreams   You close your eyes and then you're gone   And maybe my intentions have been misunderstood   I know you feel so beautifully wronged      Some days I can't believe   Others I'm on my knees   Hoping I belong      I was your anger and you were my fear   And now that it's over, of course it's so clear   But you were no angel and I was no sin   But somehow I can't let it go, can't let it go      And laughter is my soul's release   But we're not smiling anymore   And can't we try to win this peace?   'Cause we're never gonna win, never gonna win this war      I was your anger and you were my fear   And now that it's over, of course it's so clear   But you were no angel and I was no sin   But somehow I can't let it go, can't let it go
