Trying to keep a candle burning in a hurricane
that's what it's like when you love me and leave me this way
Like a dove crying out when he's lost the will to fly, yeah
Shackled down to earth by your long chain of lies, well
I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine
Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry
Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns to gray
But I just can't do it today, I can?t do
Well I can see you dancing in that strangers arms
There?s a part of me that wishes I could just forget
But I haven?t found the mercy yet, ain?t no mercy yet
Chorus
