Candy Coated Lies

Candy Coated Lies



Those candy coated lies you feed me taste so bittersweet.

You've played your hand with expertise and swept me off my feet.



You say "I got your back babe"

But I'm just not so sure.

The second that I turn from you

You've kicked me to the floor.



That crooked smile you wear so well is losing its effect.

You say we've only just began

But it sure as hell aint finished yet.



Stormy waters draw me in,

My will begins to fade

I'm caught against your undertow

Waiting to be saved.



Man the lifeboats

Sail for shore

Lead me to dry land.

Give me strength to carry on

Please take me by the hand.



No matter how you push me now,

Or try to pull me down

One day I'll reach the surface babe

And turn your perfect world around.
