Sugarcoated
Unmasking Love's Deception: Aimee Mann's 'Sugarcoated' Revelations
Lyrics
You looked the part of
You appeared to be the archetype of
The poor brave martyr
The unfortunate and courageous martyr
And guess who broke your heart
And guess who caused your emotional pain
Whoever has it
Whoever possesses your heart
Sugarcoated
Covered with a sweet exterior
When they wrote it
When the words were written
I would've believed it too
I would have been inclined to believe it
I would've believed it too
-I would believe it
I would still be inclined to believe it
I'm so relentless
I am very persistent
And you're defenseless
And you lack the means to defend yourself
Until the pencil stops
Until the writing instrument ceases
You'll be the one who's
You will be the one who is
Sugarcoated
Presented in an overly positive manner
Overloaded
Excessively emphasized
Do you believe it's true
Do you think it's genuine?
Do you believe it's true
-Do you believe it
-And out of your mouth
And from your mouth
Comes a stream of cliches
Flows a continuous stream of overused phrases
Now I have given you so much rope
Although I have given you ample opportunity to fail
You should have been hanging for days
You should have faced consequences for a long time
But you keep spinning it out
But you keep extending the situation
Spinning it out [Repeat: x5]
Repeating the process multiple times
It wasn't nice though
It wasn't pleasant, however
I came back twice so
I returned on two occasions
Now I'm the Antichrist
Now I am portrayed as the embodiment of evil
If I had been as
If I had behaved similarly as
Sugarcoated
Presented in a pleasing manner
Self-promoted
Promoted by oneself in an exaggerated way
They would've believed me too
They would have believed in me too
They would've believed me too
-Would you believe me too
Would you believe in me too?
Would you believe it too
Would you believe in it too?
