lyrics

She wants to tell a joke, but she's not that funny
It's too loud in this bar for you to hear her speak
She's beautiful, but she's not that pretty
That's what the girl looking back at her in the mirror thinks
She's broke tonight, but if she had the money
She'd buy everybody here a drink
She could steal your heart and take off running
But tonight, she's just glued to her seat

She's out with the girls, but she's in her own mind
Pretty little women lined up in a row
She's bringing up the rear at the back of the line
Just going where everyone else wants to go
Happiness is something that just takes some time
She learned that lesson a long time ago
And it could be you just met the love of your life
But all you see is her best friend that you wanna take home...

She says, it's okay
I don't need you to love me anyway
I'll walk myself home
Don't worry, I'll be alright on my own
It's just fine
I won't get lonely tonight
It's just not worth the price you have to pay
I don't need you to love me anyway

Sitting in his car early one night
She said, there's something you should know
She finally told him what was on her mind
And it only took four years to get that close
She said, it's been so much better, having you in my life
And being here with you right now gives me hope
He shot her down, but at least he was kind
He said, I'm sorry there's no good way to hear me say No...

She says, it's okay
I don't need you to love me anyway
Just drop me off at home
I'll go to bed and I'll spend another night alone
It's just fine
I can live without you most of the time
I guess there's nothing I can do to make you stay
I don't need you to love me anyway, no, no

Maybe someday I'll get everything right
I'll wake in the morning not just out of spite
Until then, my own arms keep me warm at night...

And it's okay
I don't need you to love me anyway
I'm alright alone
I found I'm so much better when I'm on my own
And it's just fine
I don't get lonely... well, that's a lie
It's just how it is. Nothing left to say.
I don't need you to love me anyway
I don't need you to love me anyway,  no, no

"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
