(Verse 1: Sugar)
You walk in dressed in innocence
White silk wrapped around your skin
Everybody in the room believes
You’ve never let the darkness in
Sweet smile, soft voice, delicate hands
A saint beneath the chandelier light
They call you sugar, call you heaven
But heaven doesn’t stare like that all night
(Pre-Chorus)
You say, “We shouldn’t cross this line”
While moving closer every time
Tell me, baby, who are you
When the lights go out tonight?
(Chorus)
They call you sugar
I call you after midnight
They see an angel
I see the hunger in your eyes
You spend your whole life playing nice
Until you’re alone with me tonight
You’re sugar and spice
And I’m the reason your halo slips
(Verse 2: Spice)
Now your lipstick’s stained with secrets
And your prayers don’t sound the same
You’ve learned temptation tastes much sweeter
When somebody else takes the blame
You still wear white out in public
Still play the saint they all adore
But every time you whisper “don’t”
You only leave me wanting more
They’ll never know the truth about you
The one you only show at three
The girl who swore she’d die for heaven
Now stays awake with thoughts of me
(Pre-Chorus)
You say, “This wasn’t part of the plan”
As your fingers reach for my hand
Tell me, angel, honestly
Who do you become with me?
(Chorus)
They call you sugar
I call you after midnight
They see an angel
I see the hunger in your eyes
You spend your whole life playing nice
Until you’re alone with me tonight
You’re sugar and spice
And I’m the reason your halo slips
(Bridge)
You cry out, “Oh God,” in my embrace
As heaven turns its eyes away
He hears every sinful confession
But never the price you had to pay
They never see the war inside you
The way your halo starts to slip
You spent your whole life chasing virtue
Now you’re trembling on the edge of it
So tell me, angel, was it worth it?
Trading paradise for this?
Say my name like it’s a prayer now
Right before the darkness hits
(Final Chorus)
They call you sugar
I call you after midnight
They see an angel
I see the hunger in your eyes
You spent your whole life playing nice
Until you’re alone with me tonight
You’re sugar and spice
And I’m the reason your halo slips
They call you heaven
I call you beautiful sin
You wore your halo for the world
But you let me in
You’re sugar and spice
And, baby, I knew all along
That angels only fall this hard
When they wanted to all along
