Candy-Coated Poison

Opening Verse

My spirit is glass, but it WAS metal
alchemically, you broke it fast
and pierced me with my memories
as I leak regret from the past
you gently say your words to me
as if to ease me into pain
you don't know what you do to me
inside - or maybe I'm insane


Chorus

You know just how to charm me
to disarm me, once again
you candy-coat your poison,
I don't know if you pretend
that you don't know how I'm feeling
maybe you don't even care
You just whine about yourself
as if your life was so unfair


Second Verse

You're the drug I can't quit taking
though as hard as I may try
Sometimes I want to KILL you
when I come down from my high
I don't understand direction
you send "subliminally"
just trying to keep affection
is a struggle - can't you see?


Bridge

You can try to understand
you can lie and say you do
you can say absolutely nothing
I DON'T CARE - I'm through with you
'cause I'm sick of all your lies
and poisoned by your "despair"
you make me want to throw up
when you pretend that you care


Chorus

Nothing about you charms me
you alarm me, once again
no longer candy-coated,
I now know how you pretend
How can you know how I'm feeling
when you never even cared?
You want me to take you back?
Sorry bitch, life is unfair
