You’ve gotta know what you want, to know what you want

To build something beautiful, you’ve gotta look at life like art

For when you brush a stroke upon the canvas of this destiny you’ve got

Each and every microscopic dot of ink will soak in, stain, and blot

So take me as I am, a partially broken man

Tastes sweet, yet slightly tart

This sugar toting, candy coated, rotten apple heart

I am not some sock monkey, I ain’t your pawn of puppetry, you simply cannot ask of me

To let you sail this ship at sea alone, in the cold, without an ounce of my dignity

So stay with me, relay to me, the days you see ahead if you don’t discard me

It just ain’t fair, my heart is bare, this forlorn stare you give me slowly kills me

So take me as I am, a partially broken man

Tastes sweet, yet slightly tart

This sugar toting, candy coated, rotten apple heart

So take me as I am, a partially broken man

Tastes sweet, yet slightly tart

This sugar toting, candy coated, rotten apple heart
