Now that you're gone
I'm trying not to cry
And I'm asking my walls
Why our love had to die
Wise people say time
Will heal every wound – someday

Well, I tried to be a good guy
Tried harder day by day
But on this bed of roses
The fire – the wire didn't stay

Like a candle out in the rain
On the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain
Our fading love – we tried to save but in vain
Like a candle in the rain

Maybe we should have tried
A little bit more
And maybe we had a dream
Worth fighting for
But it's been taken away
The winds of change blew so fast
And passion didn't last

Well, I tried to be a good guy
Tried harder day by day
But on this bed of roses
The fire – the wire didn't stay

Like a candle out in the rain
On the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain
Our fading love – we tried to save but in vain
Like a candle in the rain

When at night the winds blew cold
We used to lie awake and hold
Each other tight but these days are gone forever
Forever now

Like a candle out in the rain
On the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain
Our fading love – we tried to save but in vain
Like a candle in the rain
