Five Candles (You Were There) Lyrics

A promise or a dare
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me
Staring over the edge
I can't tell if you'll be here for me
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e13858-jars_of_clay~five_candles_you_were_there_lyrics.html ]
I close my eyes and make a wish
Turn out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love

<i>[Chorus:]

You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were never here

I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
Empty boxes on the floor
Things I never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love

<i>[Chorus]

I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on
To things you've left undone

<i>[Chorus x 2]

You were there when I
You were there when I
You were there when I needed you
