Lyrics: T. Curatolo/Butch Monserrat
Looking at faces with painted eyes
Stare up above at starless skies
Love that has faded but the pages remain
Tells a story of burnt out flames
Empty hearts and raining tears
Crying for all those wasted years
Holding hands in our own book of lies
Hides the truth in our favorite lines
Chorus:
Candles burn while we sit here and wait
And wonder what is to be our fate
Is there an end to all of our crazy
dreams of pretend
Here we still live in a love that’s failed
So far away from a fairytale
We share lifeless kisses in a life of despair
Lying still in the cold midnight air
Chorus:
Candles burn while we sit here and wait
Wondering what is to be our fate
Is there an end to all of our crazy
dreams of pretend
Bridge:
Facing the truth is a cold hard fact
We have now come to the final act
The curtain comes down on a sad lonely clown
On a story that now ends
Chorus:
Candles burn while we sit here and wait
And wonder what is to be our fate
Is there an end to all of our crazy
dreams of pretend
Candles burn while we sit here and wait
And wonder what is to be our fate
Is there an end to all of our crazy
dreams of pretend
