Some call her "Strange lady from the mountains"
Well, others say she's not really real
Like a candle burns bright, wants to burn faster
Well, maybe then, at least, she really feels
Burning like a candle in the middle
She's lonely, lost, she's disconnected
She finds no comfort in her surroundings
Beautiful, insecure, she has nothing
She moves from situation to situation like a ghost
Then she sees him, candle burning

♪
Strange, she runs with the one she can't keep up with
Ooh, it's so strange, he slows down, he's so desperate to stop her
Meet her in the middle, they both run from the one who hunts them
They drop to the forest floor, frozen
They drop to the forest floor, frozen
♪
He loves her, but he needs his life alone as well
But does he know the road or the reasons why?
If he leaves her, he'll be losing the chance to stay alive
But the candle burns bright, then the candle dies
Burning from the middle, just like a candle

Strange, she runs with the one she can't keep up with
Oh, it's so strange, he slows down, he's so desperate to stop her
And they meet in the middle, they both run from the one who hunts them
They drop to the forest floor, frozen
They drop to the forest floor, frozen
Strange, she's laid on the floor in silent pain
Strange, he sat on a chair for months just staring
(Strange) she knows too much to walk away
(Strange) she couldn't do it anyway
Strange, she's laid on the floor in silent pain

He slows down
He slows down
He slows down
She couldn't do it

She couldn't do it
