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 it 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 seemed so sweet before
