The hydrogen within the paraffin of a candle (the wax) severs its bonds with the carbon (the other element in the paraffin) because the energy the heat produces is enough to do so. The hydrogen then bonds with the oxygen atoms around it, and forms H2O. You can test this by covering a lit candle with a clear beaker. You will observe that water condenses around the flame.
