It's a shame that things don't stay the same
When something is new, it works perfectly
But as time passes by, it gets frail and slowly wastes away
Just like a candle
What good is it until you light it
But as soon as you do, it melts and shrinks
Until there is no more
When I came back home
You were sitting in your favorite chair
You looked at me
And asked me my name
I held back the tears
I didn't want you to see the pain
I answered your question
Even though I knew it would be asked again
(The river has run dry)
(Searching for water)
Every axe dulls
Every iron rusts
Every plant withers
Every photo fades
Every rope runs thin
Every pen runs dry
Every battery dies
And every candle melts
And when you're gone
Even if you don't remember my name
I'll miss you
I'll remember
And every tear shed
Will be shed
In rememberance of you
