Bubblegum - All

Warm and sweet and soft and pink

Or so I was led to believe

The good things went from bad to worse

Every bubble has to burst

It seemed so sweet before

But not anymore

Just chew me up

And spit me out like bubblegum

Cold and bitter, hard and gray

The whole world seems to feel that way

It’s no surprise, it’s only life

Makes me want to hide inside

It used to make me cry, but now I’m just too numb

What seemed so sweet before

Means nothing anymore

Just chew me up

And spit me out like bubblegum

Small minds firing words that freeze

Conspire to drive me to my knees

Fine, I know that I can find

Courage burning deep inside

Fire to keep me warm for when the winter comes

It hurt so bad before

But never anymore

I’ll never be used up like that by anyone

Never be used up again like bubblegum

It seemed so sweet before
