Candy-Coated Heartbreak

Girl, you got me like

(yeah, yeah)

Ooh, you got me like

(uh, c’mon now)

You were front row at the talent show

Bleachers shook when you said my name

Bubble letters on my notebook

Every page was the same, the same

You’d call late, hushin’ in the kitchen

Cord wrapped ’round your hand so tight

You swore you’d be my every‑day

Then you dipped by Friday night

Candy‑coated heartbreak

Sweet on the outside, hurt in the middle

You let my whole world shake

Then laughed it off like it’s little

You had me fallin’, fallin’

Right from the very start

Candy‑coated heartbreak

Sugar on a cracked‑up heart (oh‑oh)

Saw you slow‑dance in his letterman

Rockin’ my jacket like I don’t care

All my boys said, “man, forget her”

But your perfume’s still in my hair

Now I’m moonwalkin’ past your locker

Tryna act like I don’t see

But my chest hit double‑Dutch

Every time you glance at me

Yo, you played me, arcade tokens

One more shot, then the game reopens

Used my lines in your back‑seat scenes

Turned my dreams to a hallway meme

We had mixtapes, matching rings

You hit pause on all those things

Said, “it’s me, I need some space”

Next week, someone else in my place

I was doin’ your homework, walkin’ you home

Now I’m talkin’ to the mirror on my cracked flip phone

Thought you were the one, guess I read it wrong

But I glow up quick, and I bounce back strong (uh)

So if you dial late night, cryin’ in your room

I ain’t sprintin’ through the rain just to be your boom

I’ll be chillin’ in my new fit, brand‑new start

Still a little sticky from that candy heart (c’mon)

Candy‑coated heartbreak

Sweet on the outside, hurt in the middle

You let my whole world shake

Then laughed it off like it’s little

You had me fallin’, fallin’

Right from the very start

Candy‑coated heartbreak

Sugar on a cracked‑up heart

Thought you were forever

Guess I read the label wrong

Now your name’s just background noise

In another, better song (yeah)

Candy‑coated heartbreak

Sweet on the outside, hurt in the middle

You let my whole world shake

But now I’m done playin’ the victim’s fiddle

You had me fallin’, fallin’

Now I’m rippin’ you apart

Candy‑coated heartbreak

I’m takin’ back my candy heart (hey)
