(Inspired by a phrase from a media interview with Tegan Quin)

Love me, hug me, kiss me, want me
This candy heart hangover
It’s just a crutch

Sugar high, let’s stay inside
And drink to our blissful holiday
Get inside my inner space
And make my worries a lie

This candy heart hangover
It’s just a lie

I held it close, in my bones
Felt the falseness eat me alive
Somehow even in this sweet escape
I dug my grave and slipped away

This candy heart hangover
It’s my way to die

Sugar high, just get outside
And let the chill rust your inside
Lovely lies but they’re still fake
This pain don’t know what I can take

This candy heart hangover
It’s a fatal lie

Mortal wounds take my body
But you still have my heart

My soul it bleeds black and blue
Leaking my favorite colors, longing for you

This candy heart hangover
It’s never gone
This candy heart hangover
I won’t last for long
