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
Wo'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
We can't survive on candy, no we can't survive on candy
