Don't Close the Door

The candle's burning out
Slowly, perhaps for the last time
And with a flicker
My whole world melts away
We say it's for the better
Letting go of all we were
We tried and held on for so long
And now it's our Judgment Day
I won't believe it's over
We can't let the flame disappear
I can't bear to see this end
So I'll keep begging you to stay

Because I'm hollow and alone
Screaming silently as you go
Hold on
Just a little longer, baby
I need your love, so come and save me
It can't be the end
Until it's been forever
You know I can't pretend
That I'm fine with never
A love like ours is what fairytales are for
So let's make ours, and please don't close the door

On our memories
All the years we laughed together
What we have is hard to find
Anywhere but here
You were my smile, you were my life
You held my tears each time I cried
And I'd survive for one more night
Without living in fear
The fear that I would lose you
And all that we'd become
So afraid, I let you go
When I just want you to be near

So now I'm hollow and alone
Screaming silently as you go
Hold on
Just a little longer, baby
I need your love, so come and save me
It can't be the end
Until it's been forever
You know I can't pretend
That I'm fine with never
A love like ours is what fairytales are for
So let's make ours, and please don't close the door

I know the train has come and gone
You boarded before I could get on
I let you down, I let you go
I watched you take everything I know
But one thing will always be true
I will never stop loving you

So please don't leave me hollow and alone
I can't stand to watch you go
So hold on
Just a little longer, baby
It is your love that has saved me
You know it can't be the end
Until it's been forever
Don't you dare try to pretend
That all you want is never
So before you walk away from me
Think of all that we could be
A love like ours is what fairytales are for
So please, please, please
Don't close the door
