Boy, can you tell me what I’ve been waiting for?
It sure doesn’t deserve to be you
Time has passed me by, my days have flown
They should’ve been my own
I’ve wiped too many tears these past years
Didn’t have the courage to go
Didn’t have the heart to leave you struggling
But I was better off alone
I still wait by the candlelight thinking of you every night
But in the flame I’ve found hope at last
I often dream of you
The memories keep me awake too
But I’ve found the strength to leave my past
And now I lay a woman of a new day
And all the pain slowly flies away
In my eyes, the situation was clear then
I had no doubt you’d be there
Until that moment when reality slammed the door
I just couldn’t take no more
You were a desire I couldn’t fight
Should we blame this on destiny?
We parted ways
Tell me what stayed
Besides the sadness, hurt, and dismay
I still wait by the candlelight thinking of you every night
But in the flame I’ve found hope at last
I often dream of you
The memories keep me awake too
But I’ve found the strength to leave my past
And now I lay a woman of a new day
And all the pain slowly flies away
Oooh, I’m not going to let my soul ache
Because you couldn’t keep your promises
You’re somewhere far away
But even you must remember those kisses
Do you feel my sorrow?
I wonder if it stays with you
Because I’m letting go
Time to set myself free and feel happy like I used to
But I still wait by the candlelight
(I still wait, I still wait)
Thinking of you every night
(About all we had, baby)
But in the flame I’ve found hope at last
(There’s hope for me to move on)
I often dream of you
(Of your eyes, your smile)
The memories keep me awake too
(Of us laughing together)
But I’ve found the strength to leave my past
(I’ve found the strength, I’m a strong woman)
And now I lay a woman of a new day
(It’s a new day)
And all the pain slowly flies away
(The pain is fading, fading)
And now I lay a woman of a new day
And all the pain slowly flies away
I will light a new candle today
