Last Dance

I'm the candle that burns for you,

the light that shines through

Each drop of melted wax is another missed kiss

I lie awake each night wishing on my wishes

The flame flickers each time you push me away,

dies everytime you refuse to stay

Its another sleepless night again

It seems I can't escape you Alison

All I ever wanted was a little love, a little touch

You're all I need, I never wanted anything else so much

A sweet little voice from the west coast called and off I went

Only a few months later to a personal hell I was sent

I can recall our hand in hand walk along that cold beach

So many memories I sometimes wish were further out of reach

Its another sleepless night again

It seems I can't escape you Alison

When the sleep does come and I close my eyes, you're the last thing I see

And when these black and white images interupt my slumber, you're the farthest from me

A once tall candle has burned itself down to nothing but a puddle

It once burned strong on memories of when we used to cuddle

A cold breeze is blowing the last life out of me

The flame dances it's last dance, dies as it bleeds

Its another sleepless night again

And I just want you to know, I'm through with you Alison
