CANDY

[INTRO] (Acoustic guitar) Mmm... You tasted sweet... Didn't you? [VERSE 1] Everybody told me "Don't touch the fire" But I liked the way It made me feel alive Little red flags Wrapped up like roses I knew better Still I chose it Funny how the sweetest things Leave the deepest scars Funny how you don't see damage Till you're falling apart [PRE-HOOK] Maybe I was lonely Maybe I was young Maybe I kept chasing Something I could never run from [HOOK] You're my candy Sweet disaster Little bit of heaven Little bit of after Every time I swore That I was done I'd take one more Just one more You're my candy Pretty poison Got me drowning In all your noise Now I'm standing here With shaking hands Wondering who I am again (Ooooh...) My candy... (Ooooh...) My candy... --- *(FULL BAND ENTERS)* --- [VERSE 2] Maybe it was your blue eyes Maybe it was the spotlight Maybe I got addicted To feeling wanted sometimes Cause everybody loves you When you're smiling for the picture Nobody stays around When the glitter starts to wither I gave you pieces Till there wasn't much left Now I'm digging through the wreckage Trying to find myself [PRE-HOOK] Maybe I was lonely Maybe I was young Maybe I kept chasing Something I could never run from [HOOK] You're my candy Sweet disaster Little bit of heaven Little bit of after Every time I swore That I was done I'd take one more Just one more You're my candy Pretty poison Got me drowning In all your noise Now I'm standing here With shaking hands Wondering who I am again [BRIDGE] I don't hate you I don't blame you Maybe I just needed Something to believe in Maybe we were both Just broken kids Trying to fix ourselves With somebody else [BREAKDOWN] (Softly) Sweet... Sweet... Sweet... Disaster... --- *(Drums explode back in.)* --- [FINAL CHORUS] You're my candy Sweet disaster I finally see you For what you are now You were never love You were never healing Just another high I called a feeling You're my candy And I'm letting go No more running No more smoke No more hiding No more chains I'm finally Me again (Whoa-oh-oh!) Me again! (Whoa-oh-oh!) Me again! [OUTRO] (Acoustic guitar returns) Everybody told me... "Don't touch the fire..." (Small laugh) Guess they were right... Goodnight.
