Solitude still holds you I don't have to fake the blues And all you want is refuge Sugar is the heart's food Sugar is the heart's food Fathers don't know all the rules Kicked around, I know you know the cruelty of love And if you could have just one thing for your birthday, what would it be? Maybe that one wrong word would not make you bad And you could say just how you feel And they would still want you around And maybe that you could make mistakes And that it would still be okay And they would still want you around Thoughts are often ridiculed Feelings often misunderstood And all you do is rescue one little piece of your heart And feed it sugar And it will grow So powerful and strong You won't know what to do with all the warmth You won't even remember all the harm And it will be so much easier to lead The life you always wanted The life you always should have had
