The Blowtorch Is Applied to the Sugar

Let me down easy

There's no reason to tease me

(If you don't need me, please let me go)

Time is dancing on my chest

And it's casting stones, it's casting parts

Each one of them antagonist

(Playing with my dreams? Not anymore)

And I'm trying to feed the wasp inside my mouth, it's dying

I'm not sure that it wants to live

Oh, well

Hail the insane and deranged

It wasn't my embrace, it's yours

Now I'm trying to walk the straightest line

Now it's time

I wanted you forever and ever

Now it's never again, never

I wanted you forever and ever

And now it's never again, never

Oh, and how your hands used to shake

Tremble and threaten to break

If they weren't encased in mine

Telling you that it'll be just fine

I should've had it forever and ever

Now it's never again, never

I should've had it forever and ever

Now it's never again, never

I would have thrown it all away for you

And actually did, it's all around me

But I can't pick it up

'Cause I gave you all what was left of my strength

(Of my strength)

(Of my strength)

(Of my strength)

Love's a many-splendored thing, an often-vendored thing

If love was just a movie about war, it's the surrender scene

You think you've got it figured out?

I didn't say that, I've got doubts

I said I've lost my faith in love

There's still a way to find it

How? I might've cared for it at first

But now I've buried it, my thirst is met in bars

And not the fake embrace of needy arms

That isn't true, I've seen your heart

You didn't see that it was charred?

There was a fire, that's a start

The fire's gone and now it's dark

Please turn on the lights

Please turn on the lights

I think I'm still fucked up

Time didn't heal me, oh God

I think I'm still fucked up

Time didn't heal me, oh

I think I'm still fucked up

Time didn't heal me, oh God

You were a fever dream

But you never broke or went away
