Verse 1
I cleaned the whole damn bathroom
Just to make a place for us
Changed the light and set the candles
Tried to turn the night to love
You said “wake me when you’re ready”
So I held onto that line
Brought you cake and something warm
Thought maybe you’d show up this time
Pre‑Chorus
I know you didn’t mean
To leave me feeling smaller
I just wish you’d see the moments
Where I’m trying to love you harder
Chorus
Still I’m lighting up these candles
In an empty room
Hoping maybe you’ll remember
All the ways I’m holding onto you
I keep making little spaces
Where our love could shine through
Yeah, I’m lighting up these candles
’Cause I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Verse 2
You came in with tired eyes
Didn’t mean to sound unkind
Maybe you were somewhere else
Lost inside your mind
And I tried not to take it
Like I wasn’t worth your time
But it’s hard when all I wanted
Was your heartbeat next to mine
Pre‑Chorus
I know you didn’t mean
To make me feel much smaller
just wish you’d see the moments
Where I’m trying to love you harder
Chorus
Still I’m lighting up these candles
In an empty room
Hoping maybe you’ll remember
All the ways I’m holding onto you
I keep making little spaces
Where our love could shine through
Yeah, I’m lighting up these candles
’Cause I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Bridge
Maybe I’m too hopeful
Maybe that’s my sweetest flaw
But loving you comes easy
Even when it’s hard to do
I don’t need a perfect promise
Just a sign you feel it too
’Cause no matter how it hurts me
I stay hopelessly devoted to you ...
And I know you’re not heartless
You just get lost in your head
But I wish you’d see the effort
In the things I never said
Like the way I keep on trying
Even when I’m feeling blue
’Cause my love don’t have an off switch
It just keeps coming back to you
Final Chorus
So I’m lighting up these candles
Hoping someday you’ll walk through
See the hope I keep on having
Just to share a night with you
I keep holding onto moments
Where your love might shine back through
Yeah, I’m lighting up these candles
’Cause I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Outro
Maybe one day you’ll notice
All the quiet things I do
Till then I’ll keep the candles burning
’Cause I’m hopelessly yours, it’s true
