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
