you only have to deny me to break me
you only have to praise me to create me
my jaw unhinged; my smile bright
one word and there goes the light
sugar, won't you keep my place?
i have to find my saving grace
i'll clear every tarnished memory and every regret
press that button and reset
i'll return soon, my dear
do not forget, keep me near
when i find myself, i'll find my worth
i'll start all over; regain; rebirth
no more fraudulent, caked on smiles
no more deceitful little wiles
denial will not passionately kill me
and praise will not obsessively thrill me
