lyrics

I was sugar and you were heat.
You were burning and I was sweet,
soft and powdery, clean and pure.
You got under and turned it up.

Melting me. X2

Then you left, and I cooled off.
Then you left and I turned hard.

Rock candy in a cold canteen.
Eat me up and I'll rot your teeth.
Keep on eating and you will see,
you've turned into a cavity.

Empty, just like me.

I can not shift the blame.
I can not, it's all my fault.

You had all the good looks of your father,
classic fashion, sense from your mother.
You looked so cool.
Friends surrounding you.

I did not fit your code.
I did not, and you turned mean.

Now anyone who will give me a taste
spits me into the palm of their hand.
Finding the hard sticky mess I have made
they will wash me off soon as they can.
So sad.
