There's a candle in the corner

It keeps reminding me of you

It's how you lit it on my birthday

Sometimes I miss the things you do

But then you'd turn on me if the wind blew

And you'd sting me with a glare

And your thirst was so insatiable

Just to quench it robbed me bare


I'm on broken glass

My bitter pill

That you'll love me I know

I been wasting time on climbing hills

So you'll love me I know

Someday you will.........fall on my knees


Cross-legged by the fireplace

I play guitar while you read

My patience ran so thin with you

Always toying with my head

Some how it made you strangely gleeful

To see me longing for your touch

And I still fail to see the humor in my loving you so much


I'm on broken glass

My bitter pill

That you'll love me I know

I been wasting time on climbing hills

So you'll love me I know

Someday you will.........fall on my knees


I said we're faced with the facts and it's a high price to pay

C'mon blue eyes that tell me you can't walk away

If there's nothing to lose then there's nothing to gain

C'mon stay here tonight don't drive home in the rain

And I fall on my knees

All my pride is in your hands

We're not so strong and we've mislaid our plans

I taste the shame and I'll take the blame

If it's my cross to bear


I'm on broken glass

My bitter pill

That you'll love me I know

I been wasting time on climbing hills

So you'll love me I know

Someday you will.........fall on my knees
