Candles Lyrics

This song hits me so hard. It reminds me of a situation in a casual sex relationship I had where I was nothing more to this boy than "Company under covers". He never cared about me, but I saw what I wanted to see until I saw him making out with someone else and he didn't understand for a second why I was so upset. "We learn from the times that we are cursed". I knew that we would never be "lovers", but I got attached and let myself get hurt. He told me I could get as emotionally attached as I wanted and that he didn't mind if I did, he just wouldn't. Those words still burn me. I remember playing this song in my car and crying my eyes out, feeling so dumb for allowing myself to go through that.

Memory

You know, there are songs like this to live the feeling and not allowing you to fall in such situations in your life, just like a book, you live a life of a character in the book so you won't live it in the real life.
