Sugar Coated

I listen in

Your voice doesn’t waver

As you tell me fables

Like they’re days gone by

I’m drawn right in

As you tell the story’s

That make me sorry

I can’t call them mine

The tales that make me dream

and sigh

You can wrap it up

With bows and strings

Or dress it up in pretty things

You can laugh it off or sing it sweet

But the sugar coated truth

The Sugar coated truth

The sugar coated truth

Is still a lie to me

I could float away

Like a handful of balloons

When my heart is as light

As a sunny afternoon

And I’m an easy mark

Cause I’m so naive

I’ll believe anything

Thats paired with honest eyes

sink my teeth in chocolate covered lies

You can wrap it up

With bows and strings

Or dress it up in pretty things

You can laugh it off or sing it sweet

But the sugar coated truth

Is still a lie to me

A poisoned apple

Lying at my feet

Looks exactly the same on the outside to me

And I wouldn’t know the difference

Till it broke the heart

That it intended to deceive from the very start

You can wrap it up with with bows and strings

Or dress it up in pretty things

You can laugh it off or sing it sweet

But the sugar coated truth

Is still a lie to me
