Joni you better take this out of my hands
The match and the candle now
Joni I'm not like you, but I wish I could be
'Cause maybe then his heart would bow
Maybe he'd be sure

If I could fly on and die on, and never look back
Then the things that might have been
Wouldn't haunt me, they taunt me and smother me down
Oh Joni, did you ever win
Leaving him?

Oh but Joni I love him
And he can't give in
I know you'd tell me to run
But this fire must burn

Joni you can't take this out of my hands
The match and the candle now
Joni I'm not like you and I never will be
I'll put my heart on the line for this vow

Joni, I'm sure
