[Verse 1] You left your cap in my room On the chair by the window Now I catch your name In the ice of the sink You said I’m trouble Like that was a warning But you came back slow With that same old grin I remember the train And your hand on my waist Rain on my lashes Gold on your chain You don’t get to haunt me Then call it a favor I bite back sweet Then I make you wait [Pre-Chorus] I know what you want You want the old me Soft in your palms Like I never learned But I’m still here Same scar, new sparkle Lean in close Watch how I burn [Chorus] Candy in my throat You can’t taste me all night Candy in my throat I’m the bite you like Say my name slow Say it like you mean it Candy in my throat I don’t melt, I shine (shine, shine) (I don’t melt) (shine, shine) (I don’t melt) [Verse 2] Now you pull up late With that quiet apology Eyes on my mouth Like it owes you a home I got new friends And a fresh set of rules Don’t ask for forever You can ask for one song I still wear your hoodie When the air gets mean But I cut the sleeves So it fits my mood You said I’d come back When the room got lonely Baby, look at me I made lonely look good [Pre-Chorus] I know what you want You want the old me Soft in your palms Like I never learned But I’m still here Same scar, new sparkle Lean in close Watch how I burn [Chorus] Candy in my throat You can’t taste me all night Candy in my throat I’m the bite you like Say my name slow Say it like you mean it Candy in my throat I don’t melt, I shine (shine, shine) (I don’t melt) (shine, shine) (I don’t melt) [Bridge] If you want me, come correct Not with smoke and half-truths I been sweet, I been sharp I been both at once Put your pride on the floor Leave your old tricks at the door If you want a little mercy You should ask like you know I can dance with the ghost I can kiss the memory Still, I choose my own pulse When the room goes low [Final Chorus] Candy in my throat You can’t taste me all night Candy in my throat I’m the bite you like Say my name slow Say it like you mean it Candy in my throat I don’t melt, I shine Candy in my throat You can’t hold me too tight Candy in my throat I slip and I shine (shine, shine) (I don’t melt) (shine, shine) (I don’t melt)
