There she sits, her hands are held tight a - round her glass,
She only needs to be a - lone, she knows this mood will pass,
To real - ise that she was strong, and he too weak to stay,
And to real - ise that she is better off this way!
Brief candles in her mind, bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where she can see...

What makes it all worth - while, her sadness makes her smile---------!
He's a - lone, girl fades a - way, left out on a limb,
Finds he needs her more, be - cause she's no more need for him,
He under - stood so very well the things she had to say,
Soon he'll under -stand that he is better off this way!
Brief candles in his mind, bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where he can see...

What makes it all worth - while, his sadness makes him smile---------!

In the corn - er, see his face, the man just sips his drink,
Not one feel - ing does he show, he's far too numb to think,
He does not say a single word, no word of love to say,
Maybe he will soon be - lieve he's better off this way!
Brief candles in his mind, bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where he can see...

What makes it all worth - while, his sadness makes him smile--------! Ooo!
