Candlelight Becomes You

(v1)
Darling, candlelight becomes you
It softens all the lies
Makes all the more disarming
The deception in your eyes

(v2)
Oh, you’ve never seemed so loving
And I wish I didn’t know
How well you’ve been preparing
To place the final blow

Chorus
Dinner for two
What a masquerade
Each of us afraid
Of what the other might do
Goodbye is never painless
Though yours will come as no surprise
Yes, candlelight becomes you
It softens all the lies / softens all the lies

(v3)
The red rose on our table
Begins to slowly wilt
A lonely parody of love
Intimation of your guilt

(v4)
What a fool I would have been
Not to see how you had changed
How your fire turned to ashes
How my future’s rearranged

Bridge
You think I want to make you suffer
Darling, but I don’t
You hope I’ll make this easy for you
Darling, but I won’t

Chorus
Dinner for two
What a masquerade
Each of us afraid
Of what the other might do
Goodbye is never painless
Though yours will come as no surprise
Yes, candlelight becomes you
It softens all the lies / softens all the lies
