Alex G - Sugar Coat

Verse 1

I turn the bathroom light on

To take my makeup off

Look at myself in the eye

I wonder why I wear it anyway

Another car drives by

I wonder where you are

The kids are all in bed

And everything but you is in its place

Pre-Chorus

From the street view looking in

It's pretty as a picture

A home sweet home

Chorus

Sometimes I wish I liked drinking

Sometimes I wish I liked pills

Wish I could sleep with a stranger

But someone like me never will

Sometimes I hardly can stand it

I just smile with a lump in my throat

Sometimes I wish I could bear it

Didn't have to wear this sugar coat

Verse 2

Passed down from my mom

She wore it so well

She'd rest it on my shoulders

Said it's colder out there than you think

Would I recognize myself

Would anybody else

If I took the damn thing off and burned it up

Chorus

Sometimes I wish I liked drinking

Sometimes I wish I liked pills

Wish I could sleep with a stranger

But someone like me never will

Sometimes I hardly can stand it

I just smile with a lump in my throat

Sometimes I wish I could bear it

Didn't have to wear this sugar coat

Oh, this damn sugar coat

Pre-Chorus

And one of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway

And tell you to go to hell, go to hell

Chorus

Sometimes I wish I liked drinking

Sometimes I wish I liked pills

Wish I could sleep with a stranger

But someone like me never will

Sometimes I hardly can stand it

I just smile with a lump in my throat

Sometimes I wish I could bear it

And didn't have to wear this sugar coat

This damn sugar coat
