Candlebox es una banda de post-grunge originaria de Seattle, Estados Unidos, formada en 1991 con el nombre de Uncle Duke. Más tarde el nombre cambió como un homenaje a una canción de Midnight Oil.
Desde un comienzo la banda fue seguida por muchos fans del grunge y por ello su estilo fue considerado como una versión derivativa de éste. Ésta fue una de las razones de su gran éxito comercial. En los 90 recorrió el circuito de Seattle pero sus miembros no consideraban que Candlebox fuese netamente una banda de grunge

GEM7D (CHK TIMMING) Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you bad Cadd9 But I did it anyway
GEM7D And not maybe Some would say your life was sad Cadd9 But you lived it anyway
GEM7D And so maybe Your friends they stand around n watch you crumble C CADD9 As you falter to the ground
G.................................................SAME OVER N OVER And now someday Your friends they stand beside n't' you were flying Oh you were flying oh so high
But then some day people look at you for what they call their own They watch you suffer Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us hey But you left me far behind
Now may a aya yea a I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad But I did it anyway
Now mayayaya be some would say youre left with what you had But you couldnt share the pain
No, no, no Couldnt share the pain they watch you suffer Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what Ive known Yes maybe we might share in something great But wont you look at where weve grown Wont you look at where weve gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I fear for you in my mind As you trip the final line And that cold day when you lost control Shame you left my life So soon you should have told me But you left me far behind Now maybe I didnt meant to treat you oh so bad But I did it anyway Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had But you couldnt share the pain No, no, no Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad But I did it anyway No maybe some would say youre left with what you had But you couldnt share the pain I said times have changed your friends They come and watch you crumble to the ground They watch you suffer Yeah they hold you down Hold you down Maybe brother maybe love I didnt mean to treat you bad But you left me far behind Left me far behind Left me far behind
