First teased on her tiktok Isabel LaRosa decided to release an extended version of her debut single “16 Candles” as a SoundCloud exclusive. This version features new vocals and lyrics as well as a more upbeat production.
[Verse 1]
I hate you for making me cry on my birthday
I only thought of you during my party
I hate you for letting me get my hopes up
If the summer was a dream then now I've woken up
I hate that I love you seeing you all the time
Sneaking into the pool and swimming with the pool lights
I hope that you would kiss me on the way home
But, boy you were too scared and now I'm left alone
[Pre-Chorus]
You should know
Sixteen candles have all gone out
No more wishes now
Now I know
Not to let my hopes run around
They're all gone now
[Chorus]
I guess I'm too much
I don't fit under your thumb
And you're looking for somеone
Who plays your games and thinks you're tough
Thеy're enough
I guess I'm too much
And you're scared to have a crush
On a girl who's just a tough as you
Don't act like you're above
It's a bluff
I guess I'm too much
[Verse 2]
I hate you for making me cry in the front seat
Of my brother's car halfway home from your party
I felt your eyes on me through the smoke haze
But you never even wished me happy birthday
I wonder why you were scared of meeting my eyes
You thought I disappeared the more you got high
You never said a word to me the whole night
I guess that in the end my mama was right
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know
Not to let my hopes run around
They're all gone now
[Chorus]
I guess I'm too much
I don't fit under your thumb
And you're looking for someone
Who plays your games and thinks you're tough
They're enough
I guess I'm too much
And you're scared to have a crush
On a girl who's just a tough as you
Don't act like you're above
It's a bluff
I guess I'm too much
[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'm too much (too much, too much)
I guess I'm too much (too much, too much)
I guess I'm too much (too much, too much)
[Bridge]
Fading, pool lights, almost midnight
Why do you resist?
I know you're thinking, overthinking
Scared to meet my lips
[Chorus]
I guess I'm too much
I don't fit under your thumb
And you're looking for someone
Who plays your games and thinks you're tough
They're enough
I guess I'm too much
And you're scared to have a crush
On a girl who's just a tough as you
Don't act like you're above
It's a bluff
I guess I'm too much
[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'm too much (too much, too much)
I guess I'm too much (too much, too much)
I guess I'm too much, too much, too much
