Five Candles by Jars of Clay

Verse

  A promise or a dare

  I would jump if I knew you'd catch me

  Staring over the edge

  I can't tell if you'll be here for me

  I close my eyes and make a wish

  Turn out the lights and take a breath

  Pray that when the wick is burned

  You would say that it's all about love

Chorus

  You were there when I needed you

  You were there when the skies broke wide, wide

open

  You were there when I needed you

  You were there when the skies broke wide, wide

open

Verse

  You were never here

  I remember you said

  Love was more than your good intentions

  Empty boxes on the floor

  Things I never asked you for

  I pray that when the wick is burned

  You would say that it's all about love

Chorus

  I can't see the promise of

  Excuses you fall upon

  I pray to God not holding on

  To things you've left undone

[Chorus x 2]

  You were there when I

  You were there when I

  You were there when I needed you
