Solitude still holds you   I don't have to fake the blues   And all you want is refuge   Sugar is the heart's food   Sugar is the heart's food   Fathers don't know all the rules   Kicked around, I know you know the cruelty of love   And if you could have just one thing for your birthday, what would it be?   Maybe that one wrong word would not make you bad   And you could say just how you feel   And they would still want you around   And maybe that you could make mistakes   And that it would still be okay   And they would still want you around   Thoughts are often ridiculed   Feelings often misunderstood   And all you do is rescue one little piece of your heart   And feed it sugar   And it will grow   So powerful and strong   You won't know what to do with all the warmth   You won't even remember all the harm   And it will be so much easier to lead   The life you always wanted   The life you always should have had
