I guess you're off to have your fun
  Another ending just begun
  And I know what I don't see
  Really shouldn't bother me
  
  So go and have yourself a ball
  You'll be at no one's beck and call
  And with that fire in your eyes
  Another lover's moon will rise
  And someone else will take the fall
  
  And that's just the way you are, I've known all along
  Some candles always burn even when the night is gone
  But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally
  When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
  You can burn one down for me
  So you don't matter anymore
  I'll convince myself, I'm sure
  As if I give a damn
  That's just the way I am
  
  So go on and pour yourself some wine
  With who'll ever spend your time
  'Cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me
  And you never were that kind
  
  And that's just the way you are, I've known all along
  Some candles always burn even when the night is gone
  But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally
  When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
  You can burn one down for me
  
  When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
  You can burn one down for me
