Sugar-covered poison
Sticky-sweet sweat, covered in regret
All over your apartment
Sugar-covered poison
You devoured my list of "what if"s
Now I'm stuck with the consequence

Candy-coated poison
Are you heaven or hell?
Neither one of us can tell
Candy-coated poison
Should've swallowed my tongue
Now I'm dumb with the smell of pheromone

Sugar-covered poison
We may be coming of age
But we're dying of indecision
There is no good reason
If you're looking for a cure
I can only offer caution, caution

Candy-coated poison
Always love a mistake
But you're harder to scrape, scratch, scrape
Candy-coated poison
Our hearts are in denial
But our bodies, they are wicked, wicked

Once a poison, always a poison
Years after you've given it up
Come tomorrow I'll go cold turkey
But tonight I'm just a coward
Once a poison, always a poison
Years after you've given it up
Come tomorrow I'll wean off slowly
But tonight, I'm just a coward for your

I'll love you forever
But if you had some common sense
You would leave me right this moment
I am not your girlfriend
I'm just a lonely letter you know better
Than to ever open
