Five Candles (You Were There)

                                  A promise or a dare 

I would jump if I knew you'd catch me 

Staring over the edge 

I can't tell if you'll be here for me 



I close my eyes and make a wish 

Turn out the lights and take a breath 

Pray that when the wick is burned 

You would say that it's all about love 



[Chorus]

You were there when I needed you 

You were there when the skies broke wide  wide open 

You were there when I needed you 

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open 



You were never here 



I remember you said 

Love was more than your good intentions 

Empty boxes on the floor 

Things I never asked you for 

I pray that when the wick is burned 

You would say that it's all about love 



[Chorus] 



I can't see the promise of 

Excuses you fall upon 

I pray to God not holding on 

To things you've left undone 



[Chorus: x2] 



You were there when I 

You were there when I 

You were there when I needed you
