Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Mother said you'd wind up here, written into song
I have to say I'm sorry, for it's taken me so long to write about you
And maybe breaking your sweetheart is what I had to do
But don't worry, baby, for I've broken my heart too in losing you

[Chorus]
'Cause though I see our candles going out (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah...)
I have to say, I've got my doubts (Ooh oo-ooh, ooh-ooh...)
Things have been going so well (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah...)
It seems a shame to walk through hell together just to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
We both know I'll stay resolved in what I have to do
Even if it's just because my mother told me to - she never got you
And yes, I see the irony, it's all becoming clear
But finally, I write for you a song you'll never hear, isn't it funny?

[Chorus]
'Cause though I see our candles going out (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah...)
I have to say, I've got my doubts (Ooh oo-ooh, ooh-ooh...)
Things have been going so well (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah...)
It seems a shame to walk through hell together just to say goodbye

[Bridge]
And I'll see you one more time (One more time)
Just to make things right
Yes, I'll love you one more time
Through the dark of the night

[Chorus Variant]
'And though I see our candles going out (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah...)
I have to say, I've got my doubts (Ooh oo-ooh, ooh-ooh...)
Things have been going so well (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah...)
It seems a shame to walk through hell together just to say goodbye
