[Verse]

A flame in the wind flickers, but persists

Astonishing indifference

Unwavering

Committed to it

For shame or consequence

My candle, it's lit

That's just common sense

I love you, that's it

I wonder what you do sometimes

And if you feel it too sometimes

I get really, really blue sometimes

When you run across my mind

You said that we would share our lives

Now you don't write me back and that's not nice

Why'd you make it rain that night?

You were acting so contrite

[Pre-Chorus]

I am holding on

Love is never gonе

I am holding on

Love is never gonе

[Chorus]

I am standing alone

In the yellow of the streetlight's glow

And all I want

Is something that can move me

I am all on my own

Putting quarters in the payphone

Is it perpetual?

How you're feeling, so unyielding

[Verse]

Darkness unfolds

My light explodes

Enveloping existence

Encompassing resistance

Could you ever treat me right?

Maybe in another life

We don't have that kind of time

Soon enough I'll make you mine

I'm watching how you spend your time

Even when you flick the lights

Hoping that you change your mind

You are such a lovely sight

[Pre-Chorus]

I am holding on

Love is never gone

I am holding on

Love is never gone

[Chorus]

I am standing alone

In the yellow of the streetlight's glow

And all I want

Is something that can move me

I am all on my own

Putting quarters in the payphone

Is it perpetual?

How you're feeling, so unyielding

I am

I am

I am

I am

I am standing alone

In the yellow of the streetlight's glow

And all I want

Is something that can move me
