[Verse 1]

[Verse 1] Candles lit, a birthday wish I closed my eyes and made it quick Every year the same old prayer Whispered softly in the air I wished for love like no other For my heart to finally discover What it means to lose control When somebody touches your soul I’ve been loved many times before Heard promises across the floor But I never felt my knees get weak Never felt my heartbeat speak [chorus] All those candles in the dark All those wishes on my heart Every mistake, every wrong turn
 Every lesson I had to learn
 Every bridge I had to burn 

 Through all the hurt I made it through
 Every road I wandered on
 Was leading me to you

 [Verse 2]
 You came so unexpectedly No fireworks, no warning sign But as the weeks kept passing by My heart began to recognize Slowly, slowly Something shifted deep inside Like I’d known you long before Like you’d always been mine

 [chorus] All those candles in the dark All those wishes on my heart Every mistake, every wrong turn
 Every lesson I had to learn
 Every bridge I had to burn 

 Through all the hurt I made it through
 Every road I wandered on
 Was leading me to you
