[Verse 1] You walk in like a warhead Boots on tile Little shockwave Black steel on your tongue Every word A new bloodstain Tattooed eyes say “back off” Silver rings like razorwire But your laugh slips through the armor Tiny crack in the barbed fire [Chorus] Metal sweetheart All thorns Then sugar Dark and hard on the outside Yeah But you’re sweet and sweet pink under Metal sweetheart I taste the truth you hide You’re a blade in a velvet box Soft as a storm inside (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Bite your lip when you’re nervous Hide your hands in that torn sleeve You pretend you love the chaos But you still believe in leave-me-not Please-don’t-leave You say love is for cowards Then you feed my stray regrets With that candy-colored kindness You pretend you just forget [Chorus] Metal sweetheart All thorns Then sugar Dark and hard on the outside Yeah But you’re sweet and sweet pink under Metal sweetheart I taste the truth you hide You’re a blade in a velvet box Soft as a storm inside [Bridge] Let the sky fall You still flinch You still cry at midnight films You still save the broken insects On your windowsill You’re not cold You’re just careful You’re not cruel You’re just scarred I see frosting on the shrapnel Candy heart in the dark (hey!) [Chorus] Metal sweetheart All thorns Then sugar Dark and hard on the outside Yeah But you’re sweet and sweet pink under Metal sweetheart Let the armor slide You’re a blade in a velvet box I’ll hold the soft inside Metal sweetheart My metal sweetheart Dark and hard on the outside But you’re sweet and sweet pink inside
