Arm Candy

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

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

Gone
Gone

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

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, just one more piece of me

Gone
Gone
