Goodbye Norma Jean though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
They sent you on the treadmill made you change your name
Well it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
The loneliness was tough but the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar they made you change your face
Then even when you died the press still hounded you
And all the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
But it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean no I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
They sent you on the treadmill and made you change your name
Now it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
