Now that you're gone I'm trying not to cry and I'm asking my walls why our love had to die wise people say time will heal every wound - someday Well, I tried to be a good guy tried harder day by day but on this bed of roses the fire - the wire didn't stay Like a candle out in the rain on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain our fading love - we tried to save but in vain Like a candle in the rain Maybe we should have tried a little bit more and maybe we had a dream worth fighting for but it's been taken away the winds of change blew so fast and passion didn't last Well, I tried to be a good guy tried harder day by day but on this bed of roses the fire - the wire didn't stay Like a candle out in the rain on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain our fading love - we tried to save but in vain Like a candle in the rain When at night the winds blew cold we used to lie awake and hold each other tight but these days are gone forever forever now Like a candle out in the rain on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain our fading love - we tried to save but in vain Like a candle in the rain
