No One Holds a Candle to You Lyrics

You and I have the talent to see things in a different way

While others lie prostrate you and I are merely laid

We're passing like ships in the night; I was never one for sailing

The only knots I tied are the ones in my tongue when I'm caught explaining to you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle

I had my shot but I didn't take it

We had our chance but I didn't make it with you

No one holds a candle to you

Fingers grace the pages where once they pulled the hair away from your cheeks

I found a picture of you at the Pyrenees and I haven't slept in weeks

Page upon page; impotent rage at the loss of love I felt

How symphonic, it's symbolic; I'm the Mozart of feeling sorry for myself

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle

There's no second chances once you get off the ride

No re-queuing several years down the line for you

No one holds a candle to you

And you were the only one who never saw me as a work in progress

When I hear that word "potential" my krav maga kicks in

You saw the crash coming and you took both hands right off the wheel

Not every wreck needs fixing

Not every wreck needs fixing, but for you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle

I live in hope, do you think I should?

If you had your chance again, do you think you would?

But you, no one holds a candle to you
