Candles - Daughter
Am G C
(repeat this pattern for the whole song)


That boy, take me away, into the night 
Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest 
I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark 
Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask of a familiar name on a birthday card 

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles 
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night 
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence 
Wide-eyed, both in silence 
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene 

Well I have brittle bones it seems 
I bite my tongue and torch my dreams 
Have a little voice to speak with 
And a mind of thoughts and secrecy 
Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times we are cursed 
Things cannot be reversed, learn from the ones we fear the worst 
And learn from the ones we hate the most how to 

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles 
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night 
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence 
Wide-eyed, both in silence 
Wide-eyed 

Cause we both know I'll never be your lover 
I only bring the heat 
Company under cover 
Filling space in your sheets 
Well I'll never be a lover 
I only bring the heat 
Company under cover 
Filling space in your sheets, in your sheets 

So, please just blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles 
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night 
It's just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence 
Wide-eyed, both in silence 
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene.
