Solitude still holds you

I don't have to fake the blues

And all you want is refuge

Sugar is the heart's food

Sugar is the heart's food

Fathers don't know all the rules

Kicked around, I know you know the cruelty of love

And if you could have just one thing for your birthday, what would it be?

Maybe that one wrong word would not make you bad

And you could say just how you feel

And they would still want you around

And maybe that you could make mistakes

And that it would still be okay

And they would still want you around

Thoughts are often ridiculed

Feelings often misunderstood

And all you do is rescue one little piece of your heart

And feed it sugar

And it will grow

So powerful and strong

You won't know what to do with all the warmth

You won't even remember all the harm

And it will be so much easier to lead

The life you always wanted

The life you always should have had
