Laughing eyes with tears restraint 
naked canvas craving paint 
the river drowns the one who cannot swim 
emotions under lock and key 
bursting, dying to be free 
trapped inside the soul of someone else 

and I burn the candle in the falling rain 
I won't survive 

memories are ripped and torn 
love conceived but never born 
choking on the words that won't come out 
endless road of wasted youth 
teenage fate conceals the truth 
heaven wasn't close enough for you 

I won't survive 
I burn the candle in the falling rain 
I won't survive 

can't you see me falling 
right over the edge 
into the bottomless pit 

can't you see me falling 
right over the edge 
into the bottomless pit 

I burn the candle in the falling rain 
I won't survive 
I burn the candle in the falling rain 
I won't survive 
oh, I burn the candle 
in the falling rain 
yeah, I burn the candle 
in the fallinbg rain
