Candles Lyrics

Cover art for Candles lyrics by Hey Monday

I think this song is about how a relationship is finnally getting some closure and the girl is finnally ready to move on. "Paybacks such a waste" is basically saying, I'm tired of all the drama so I'm not even going to get back at you for what you did to me.

"One day You will wake up With nothing but “you’re sorrys” And someday You will get back Everything you gave me "

This line really relates to me. It's like saying, one day the guy will realize what a good thing he lost and try to fix it but what goes around comes around and "you'll get back" all the pain you gave me.
