Candy

Sugar on your lips
Two spoonfuls in your coffee
But it's still bitter when we kiss

Words you said last night
Keep on ringing in my ears
The same way every time we fight

You can play it cool but they don't know you like I do
Know the way you slam that door while I'm crying on the floor
The flowers in that vase have gone sour like your mouth
But tomorrow you'll replace them while I'm cowered on the couch
Your love is candy

I confuse control for care
And now my feet are aching
From broken eggshells everywhere

I wanna forgive you when you apologize
And say you'll try harder to do better
But we both know that's a lie

You can play it cool but they don't know you like I do
Know the way you slam that door while I'm crying on the floor
The flowers in that vase have gone sour like your mouth
But tomorrow you'll replace them while I'm cowered on the couch
Your love is candy

It's been hard to come to know
I can't satisfy your soul
No, I can't rule the way you feel
Been doing backflips and cartwheels
Trying to be what you desire
Lost myself inside your fire

Well, you can play it cool but they don't know you like I do
Know the way you slammed that door while I was crying on the floor
The flowers in that vase they all went sour like your mouth
Don't waste your money on more roses cause I won't be at the house
Your love was candy

Oh, your love was candy...
