Five Candles You Were There Lyrics by Jars Of Clay

Five Candles You Were There Lyrics

    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

    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
