[Verse 1]
Remember the day you came to me and said you found the truth
And I turned away and told you should take another look?
You said you'd see what's going on
I know you trust, but something’s wrong

[Chorus]
We have our lives to bear
Our bags to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of
Love, hope, understanding
But we can't survive on candy

[Verse 2]
Red carpet ride can take your mind away from anything
And I wanna die at every mention of “celebrity”
Like “Who’s doing who”
Just how and where
Long as it’s not you
I just don’t care

[Chorus]
We have our lives to bear
Our bags to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of
Love, hope, understanding
But we can't survive on candy
[Bridge]
Running far away from all your serious concerns
I know you’ve learned to you use your fairytales
To get you through the hurt
Who’s falling? We’re falling
And there’s just no climbing back
So I'm slowin' I'm stallin'
While I’m under full attack

[Chorus]
We have our lives to bear
Our bags to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of
Love, hope and understanding
But we can’t survive on candy
On candy
On candy
On candy
We can’t survive, can’t survive on candy
