Lyrics

Hard Candy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I used to act like a soldier

I never picked up a gun

I used to dress like a hooker

But never seemed to hook anyone

I used to flow like a river

Burning bridges people could cross

I used to think I was a looker

But look at all the shit that I lost

I took it all the way (I’ll take it, I’ll take it)

Full throttle till I lose control (I’ll take it, I’ll take it)

Hard candy all the way (I’ll take it, I’ll take it)

Full throttle till I lose control

A hard candy sick

A hard candy crawl

A hard candy pill

You take and dissolve

And how can we say

That we ever stood tall?

How can we fill you up

And make you tall?

I used to think I had flavor

Till I left an awful taste on her tongue

I used to think I was a savior

But never seemed to save anyone

Take it all the way (I’ll take it, I’ll take it)

Full throttle till we lose control (I’ll take it, I’ll take it)

Hard candy all the way (I’ll take it, I’ll take it)

Full throttle, lose control

A hard candy sick

A hard candy crawl

A hard candy pill

You take and dissolve

Then how can we say

That we ever stood tall?

How can we fill you up

And make you tall?

I took it all the way

Full throttle, till we lose control

Hard candy all the way

Full throttle, lose control

A hard candy sick

A hard candy crawl

A hard candy pill

You take and dissolve

And how can we say

That we ever stood tall?

How can we fill you up

And make you tall?

Take it all the way

Full throttle till we lose control

Hard candy all the way

Full throttle, lose control
