Candles

i like to watch tv in the dark with nothing but a candle for soft, flickering light and the soft smell of fresh linen

i like to open my windows which were shut for so many years but now i want them open

i want them to flood my room with sunshine

i want my room filled with poetry and succulents and cds and i want to light a candle just to set the scene

it\'s an innocent thing

my candles are an innocent thing

yes you\'re right, i\'m a liar

i\'m not to be trusted

i\'m the worst of the worst

you should hate me with everything you\'ve got

but my candles were never meant to hide secrets

you never knew who i was

so you don\'t know how much i\'ve changed

and you won\'t believe anything i say

but i just love candles the same way i love lavender and piano and dresses

the same way i love mario kart and reading and retail

it\'s innocent

i\'m innocent

and im sorry

i guess you never saw the beauty of my candles

or any of things you stole from me

i\'ll just keep hoping that one day, you\'ll stop fighting me

i stopped fighting you a long time ago.
