Silly Game, Real Feelings

[Intro – spoken / soft, playful]
With a tiny spark of a candle,
Your name pops right into my mind.
If this is just a silly game…
Why does my heart still read the sign?

[Verse 1]
We wrote our names, side by side,
Paper hearts we tried to hide.
You laughed and said, “Let’s test our fate,”
I said, “Okay,” but I couldn’t wait.

The candle drips, the flame goes wild,
I try to act cool, but I smile.
I make a wish I’ll never say,
The fire dances — and I’m not okay.

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind blows hard, I hold my breath,
The flame goes left, the flame goes right.
Even if it fades too fast,
I kinda hope this one will last.

[Chorus]
Oh, Flames Candle, don’t play games,
Do you feel the spark the same?
Friends or lovers, what’s the sign?
Please don’t say “just friends” this time

Even if the candle cries,
Melts away before my eyes,
Oh, Flames Candle, please,please..
Cross your wick and hope it’s fine..

[Verse 2]
I fake a calm, but I’m a mess,
Every smile you make me guess.
From F to S, I count so slow,
Praying the “L” will start to glow.

You look at me, I look away,
Why does my heart do this all day?
If this is chance, then tell me why,
It feels like fate every time you smile?

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart beats loud in candlelight,
Like a drama scene on Friday night.
Is this real or in my head?
Either way, I’m in it, ( hahaha)

[Bridge – playful]
F – Friends?
Friends, I said, “Friends, yeah, maybe, nah, no way!”
Flustered, fumbling, feelings on display.

L – Love
Love, I whispered, loud but soft,
Laughing, lying, looking up aloft.

A – Affection?
Affection, awkward, all around,
Always anxious, can’t calm down.

M – More?
More than words, more than games,
Messy, muddled, calling your name.

E – Everything?
Everything I hide, everything I feel,
Every heartbeat hoping it’s real.

S – Someone?
Someone like you, someone like me,
Spinning, stuttering, can’t you see?

[Final Chorus]
Oh, Flames Candle, don’t play games,
Do you feel the spark the same?
Friends or lovers, what’s the sign?
Please don’t say “just friends” this time

I said I wasn’t, wasn’t, wasn’t gonna care,
But I care, I swear, it’s unfair, I’m aware.
Tried to joke it out, tried to laugh it through,
But every little letter still points to you.


[Outro – whisper / giggly fade]
If the flame goes out tonight,
I’ll still think of you, alright.
Game or fate, I don’t care now…
You’re my favorite “what if” somehow.

(soft giggle / hums — “mm-mm”)
