CANDY:
I’m spinning around
Like a kid in a candy store
Enthralled by all I see
It all seems so colorful and alluring
But I don’t realize it’s not for me

I wasn’t meant to reach down
And grab all I can
And race back without a consequence
As I pay at the checkout stand

Turns out I couldn’t finish it all
I bit off more than I could chew
And when I’m done, I drop the rest on the sidewalk
Turn around and start to blame you

(Chorus)
Is it my fault that I didn’t think
About what would happen to me?
Aren’t you supposed to know everything
So why am I stuck with this feeling?

You simply take my hand
And tell me that when I’m older, I may understand
And while I think that’s a parent cop-out
I slunk in obedience to the reprimand
(End Chorus)

Finding out that it was my fault
Hurts more than what I did
But I’m so inclined to shrug it off
Or throw a fit like a little kid

If I had all the answers
I figured life wouldn’t be a hastle
But that’s a backwards way to live
Because if I had no reason to believe
Or live by faith regardless
Then what keeps me from thinking I only need me?

(Chorus)
(End Chorus)
