lyrics

It's showtime. I'm in the spotlight.
I'm bearing part of my soul tonight.
Boys only think I'm pretty when I sing.
Dim the lights. Cut the mic.
What's left to do at the end of the night
When I don't feel like singing anymore?

How long until my spell lifts away?
No one is begging me to stay.

Stick around. I'm right here waiting.
Can't you see I'm captivating?
Can't you see I'm breathtakingly beautiful?
I could be what you're looking for.

I'm just a girl with a guitar.
That's never gotten me too far.
I'm not afraid to go home alone tonight.
But you're somewhere. I know you're out there.
You can't just wander in and out of thin air.
But I only want you if it's right.

I only want what's meant to be.
So I'll keep speaking up so you can hear me.

Listen now. I'm right here waiting.
Can't you see I'm captivating?
Can't you see I'm breathtakingly beautiful?

I'm so much more than what you see.
I promise that you would love the light inside me.

Turn around. Don't keep me waiting.
Please believe I'm captivating.
Please believe I'm breathtakingly beautiful.
I'm worth looking for.

The Sorry EP
by Kat and the Hurricane

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

Robbie can take you to another world with his music, or just make your own world sound so much cooler. Candace Griffin
