Verse 1

I'm burning out
My flame is flickering
I shout it loud
No one sees im suffering
I'm losing myself
Over the people
Who's not afraid of leaving me
They cheated me
They don't see
I saw right through them
I kept it quiet cause I'm too scared to hurt them

Must have had a blind faith
That they did care for me
Criticised over and over again
All of my kindness taken for weakness

Chorus

I'm tired of being everyone's candle
Too much lies for me to handle
sick of lighting up everyone's life like a candle
Burning myself up for a scandle
Like a candle
I burn myself up
To give everyone light
Like a candle
I'm on the edge of burning out
Used and killed after
The sun comes up
Tired of burning up like a candle
Don't wanna give out light like a candle
Stop being everyone's candle

Verse 2

I was drowning
I was hurting
I didn't know I was drowning
When I was trying to be everyone's anchor
I hope I do drown
Let them miss me
Let them know how they
Took me for granted

Can't lose what they never had
Can't keep what they never had
Can't keep holding on
I wanna let go
Can't keep holding me
When I don't want to stay

Chorus

Bridge

Now,look at me
My flickering flame has danced
It can burn even when it rains
I am never the person I was yesterday
You pushed me too far
Too my limits
I fight back and you think
I'm at fault
I was and never will be
The same person I was back then
Cuz
