lyrics

I've been used my fair share, so when nobody is there
I get scared that some people are manipulative
Narcissists abound, love-bombing me cause I'm vulnerable
I lay up at night to sing a song that nobody hears

All this candy that you give to me
Oh this praise is much to thick for me
When I am hooked, manipulate the overdose
It's too late, I'm gonna get a stomach ache

I needed medicine, medicine
You gave me drugs
I need correction, affection
You played my strings
Give me all the attention
You know what I want
It's too late, I'm gonna get a stomach ache

I'm not afraid of the dark, but the dark side of people
My hope is running thin and someone just like that could kill me
I have been used and abused, but not enough for somebody
Who puppeteers the strings and makes me think that I am hopeless

Convenient lies and stories, make yourself look good
There are dark shadows cast when lights shine bright and hide your flaws
In the spotlight you stand, and I can only be enamored
Forging bonds upon lies, and helping only yourself

I got a stomach ache

All this candy that you give to me
Oh this praise is much to thick for me
When I am hooked, manipulate the overdose
It's too late, I'm gonna get a stomach ache

I needed medicine, medicine
You gave me drugs
I need correction, affection
You played my strings
Give me all the attention
You know what I want
It's too late, I'm gonna get a stomach ache

I wish I knew what you thought, when you were lying about me
I wish I knew what you felt, when you were begging me to stay
All the strings that had bound me, like a web to a fly
Was I just sustenance for egos that had found me easy prey

All the lies that you fed me, now say goodbye!
All the times you betrayed me, I'm not alright!
When I gave my trust to you, you took advantage of it
So say goodbye to any bridges that are left standing

All this candy that you give to me
Oh this praise is much to thick for me
When I am hooked, manipulate the overdose
It's too late, I'm gonna get a stomach ache

I needed medicine, medicine
You gave me drugs
I need correction, affection
You played my strings
Give me all the attention
You know what I want
It's too late, I'm gonna get a stomach ache
