Dancing on the screen  I still see you as
The star power you used to have
Rose tinted romance

Like a message from the past

Embarrassed though I am

I'll still watch you through my hands
Interest I'll never have

I'm feeling so eternally grateful
Now I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Being so denied

Burning for no one
I'm burning for no one
I guess I'll be eternally grateful
Cos I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Hidden from your eyes
Burning for no one
I'm burning for no one

Projecting  yeah I guess
But I talk to those the best

Who'll never hear me
Rose tinted romance

At the altar of your younger self
I'm left to tell your story
It's a healthy interest I'll never have

I'm feeling so eternally grateful
Now I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table

Being so denied

Burning for no one
I'm burning for no one
I guess I'll be eternally grateful
Cos I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Searching for your eyes

Burning for no one
I'm burning for no one
