I guess you're off to have your fun   Another ending just begun   And I know what I don't see   Really shouldn't bother me      So go and have yourself a ball   You'll be at no one's beck and call   And with that fire in your eyes   Another lover's moon will rise   And someone else will take the fall      And that's just the way you are, I've known all along   Some candles always burn even when the night is gone   But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally   When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again   You can burn one down for me   So you don't matter anymore   I'll convince myself, I'm sure   As if I give a damn   That's just the way I am      So go on and pour yourself some wine   With who'll ever spend your time   'Cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me   And you never were that kind      And that's just the way you are, I've known all along   Some candles always burn even when the night is gone   But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally   When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again   You can burn one down for me      When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again   You can burn one down for me
