sugar, lies, and cherry pies

Verse 1

Said my name like honey dripping from your silver spoon

Eyes on me all summer long, a perpetually bloomed June

You painted me in pastels, soft-lit, so innocent

But a woman made of velvet still knows where the dagger went

Real cute, real sweet, 'til you taste the bitter.

Gave you sugar, you mistook me for a quitter.

Pre-Chorus

Don't it look pretty on the surface?

Pink frosting, no purpose

You wanted cherry pie, no substance

Just a girl who stays compliant

But babe, that's not the assignment.

Chorus

You fed me sugar, lies, and cherry pies

Thought the sweet would hide the bitter in your eyes

I was dessert on your table, so delightful

'Til I spoke up—now I'm spiteful?

That's the gag, that's the twist, that's the high

You only love the taste when I'm your supply.

Verse 2

Got a PhD in your gaslight, it's giving insecure

Call me "extra," call me "messy," I call it keeping score

No cap, you lost the plot, babe.

You're just mad I'm in my hot girl, God-tier era

While you're still stuck on "coulda, shoulda, woulda."

Pre-Chorus

Don't it look pretty on the surface?

Pink frosting, no purpose

You said my shine was "a bit too much"

But dimming stars? That's not a flex, love, that's a crutch.

Chorus

You fed me sugar, lies, and cherry pies

Thought the sweet would hide the bitter in your eyes

I was dessert on your table, so delightful

'Til I spoke up—now I'm spiteful?

That's the gag, that's the twist, that's the high

You only love the taste when I'm your supply.

Bridge

Cherry-picked the parts of me that fit your plate

Left the messy, real, and magical to wait

But I'm not a menu, darling, I'm a whole damn feast

And I'd rather dine alone than be your guilty treat.

(Huh)

Outro

That's the sweetest goodbye I never gave you...

Mm. Tastes like freedom.

No sugar left.
