"Sickly Sweet" lyrics

"Sickly Sweet"

You said I want you or something like that
You said you like me or something quite drab
It's all empty conversations
So we can't build a foundation
You said you love me, but you say that every time
You said you missed me, please forgive my crimes
Am I deluded? Could I really be that stupid?
'Cause I'm plagued by the memories
Coughing and spluttering
When I see you, I can't breathe

You're sickly sweet
You're sweetly sick
A shiny thing, I want to pick
Take a bite and spit you out
Done this so many times that I've lost count
You're sickly sweet
You're sweetly sick
A shiny thing, I want to pick
Take a bite and spit you out
Done this so many times that I've lost count

Now I'm nauseous and I don't even like you
I know I should've been cautious
But I'm reliant on the nonsense
The push and the pull, the broken branch
That provides us all
And I know that I'm naive
Your garden is desolate, it's full of disease
But I'll have one more piece
One more piece

You're sickly sweet
You're sweetly sick
A shiny thing, I want to pick
I want to take a bite and spit you out
Done this so many times that I've lost count
You're sickly sweet
You're sweetly sick
A shiny thing, I want to pick
Take a bite and spit you out
Done this so many times that I've lost count

You're sickly sweet
You're sweetly sick
A shiny thing, I want to pick
Take a bite and spit you out
Done this so many times that I've lost count
You're sickly sweet
You're sweetly sick
A shiny thing, I want to pick
Take a bite and spit you out
Done this so many times that I've lost count
