Arm Candy lyrics

[Verse 1]
The boys being boys and the girls being diamonds
See how our tender hearts hold onto violence
I show him off, and he loves me in silence
Every excuse is a tiny violin

[Refrain]
Mmh, mmh-mmh

[Verse 2]
He's holding on by the skin of my waist
I’m losing myself, even losing my weight
My skin starts to crawl, and he's making me wait
I wait the whole day, just one more day

[Chorus]
Gone (Gone), gone, gone
Gone

[Verse 3]
He acts like a child, I act like a wife
As he tries to conquer each part of my life
I love him in peace while he loves me in strife
He likes to undress me right after I cry

[Refrain]
Mmh, mmh-mmh
[Verse 4]
I'll be his arm candy, as small as a watch
I’ve known all the while he's connecting the dots
Another small compromise, another small loss
I'll kiss it goodbye


[Chorus]
Just one more piece of me gone (Gone)
Gone, gone
Gone

[Outro]
Watch me disappear, 'ear, 'ear-'ear
Watch me disappear, 'ear, ooh
I wanna be nothin'
In the middle of nowhere
A crack in the pavement
A pebble on the sand
