Brief Candles - Mono Version

There she sits her hands are held
 Tight around her glass
 She only needs to be alone
 She knows this mood will pass
 To realize that she was strong
 And he too weak to stay
 And to realize that she is better off this way
 Brief candles in her mind
 Bright and tiny gems of memory
 Brief candles burn so fine
 Leaves a light inside where she can see
 What makes it all worthwhile
 Her sadness makes her smile
 His alone girl fades away
 Left out on a limb
 Finds he needs her more because
 She's no more need for him
 He understood so very well
 The things she had to say
 Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way
 Brief candles in his mind
 Bright and tiny gems of memory
 Brief candles burn so fine
 Leaves a light inside where he can see
 What makes it all worthwhile
 His sadness makes him smile
 ♪
 In the corner see his face
 The man just sips his drink
 Not one feeling does he show
 Far too numb to think
 He does not say a single word
 No word of love to say
 Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way
 Brief candles in his mind
 Bright and tiny gems of memory
 Brief candles burn so fine
 Leaves a light inside where he can see
 What makes it all worthwhile
 His sadness makes him smile
