lyrics

It's quiet in this bedroom of mine. The only friend I have is this bottle of wine. I had to let you go, cause all you ever did was waste my time.

So I'll burn the candles till they're gone. I'll spend another night alone. Cause you're not coming home again.

My head hurts when I get up at 8am. Before the day is through, I pour another drink again. I should go outside, but all I want to do is hide again.

So I'll burn the candles till they're gone. I'll spend another day alone. I'm not leaving home again.

I don't need nobody else. All they ever bring is pain. I swear to God I'll never fall again.

It's quiet, and I'm all out of wine. If anybody asks, I'll say I'm doing fine. And if I see you again, I'll continue lying.

So I'll burn the candle till they're gone. I'm spending my time alone. You're not coming home again.

about

Candace Griffin Madison, Wisconsin

"Alternative and folky, Candace Griffin's music comes straight from the heart. As a songwriter, she takes inspiration from the life around her, and with honest words and acoustic-driven emotions, she puts her listeners right in the moment. You'll think the songs were written just for you." (Bio by Caitlin Wildhagen) ... more

The Sorry EP

Less sad "sad lesbian music". More prominent is the journey of self love and self acceptance, all wrapped up in some dance-y synth and rockin beats! Candace Griffin
