Lemonade
My lips are sugar, but my tongue is sour
So I guess my words are lemonade.
My heart is a flame but my body's a flower;
I'm on fire, but that's how I'm made.
Why do they think I'm a bubbly glass of champagne
When I'm just the empty bottle?
Why do they think I have so much to gain
When my future is being throttled?
But I can be iced tea if you need to cool down,
I can be hot chocolate if you need to be warm.
I'll do anything for you to stick around
And together we'll get through this storm
Because you're the antidote to my poisoned apple;
You're the tree that gives me shade.
You're the stained glass window to my chapel
And the lemon to my lemonade.
