Remember the day you came to me and said you found the truth?

And I turned away and told you should take another look?

You said you'd see what's going on

I know you trust but something's wrong

We have our lives to bear

Our bags to burden

But we just buy and we wear

The plastic version of

Love, hope, understanding

But we can't survive on candy

Red carpet ride

Can take your mind

Away from anything

And I wanna die

At every mention of "celebrity"

Like "who's doing who"

Just how and where

Long as it's not you

I just don't care

We have our lives to bear

Our bags to burden

But we just buy and we wear

The plastic version of

Love, hope, understanding

But we can't survive on candy

Running far away from all your serious concerns

I know you've learned to you use your fairytales

To get you through the hurt

Who's falling? We're falling

And there's just no climbing back

So I'm slowin', I'm stallin'

While I'm under full attack

We have our lives to bear

Our bags to burden

But we just buy and we wear

The plastic version of

Love, hope and understanding

But we can't survive on candy

On candy

On candy

On candy

We can't survive, can't survive on candy
