Well it took me long enough to know where my heart is
My cards on the table, my thoughts are so restless
I never could learn when to shut them off
And the magic of the moments when I'm indifferent
Get forced to the back and played out of sequence
I care way too much, or not at all

And I sing the saccharine blues
I'm too sweet, it hurts me, it hurts you
And I sing the saccharine blues
Just don't feel, you can't lose

And I told lies about who I am now
I bought into the myth that this was all planned out
And deep into the night, I talk in my sleep
Baby can't you see? Oh can't you feel this?
I'm almost on your street and I'm feeling faithless
The evidence I have is just a pretty song

And the saccharine blues
I'm too sweet, it hurts me, it hurts you
And I sing the saccharine blues
I don't feel, then I can't lose

And maybe I'll just think about you baby
To forget myself
'Cause all it really takes is to see you
I forget myself
I go off to far away places
And I forget myself
And I still find you between the spaces
Now let me forget myself

'Cause I hurt you
And I sing the saccharine blues
I don't feel, well then I can't lose

I got the saccharine blues
