Gavin DeGraw - Candy Lyrics

Remember the day you came to me
And said you found the truth
And I turned away and told you
You should take another look

You said you see what's going on
I know you trust but something's wrong

We have our lives to bear, our backs to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of love, hope, understanding
But we can't survive on candy

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

We have our lives to bear, our backs to burden
But we just buy and wear
The plastic version of love, hope, understanding
We can't survive on candy

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 stallin', I'm stallin'
While I'm under full attack

We have our lives to bear, our backs to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of love, hope and understanding
You can't survive on candy

On candy
On candy
On candy
We can't survive
Can't survive on candy
