Sugartooth Lyrics - Brandi Carlile

He wasn't really known for breaking the rules 

When he arrived in the second year of my high school 

He wasn't so much of a twist of fate 

As a short turn up from a Southern state 

He was born with a sweet tooth he couldn't beat 

Always trying to find himself something sweet 

All that he found was a trouble and me 

Or maybe trouble just found him 

It was hard to hide that his heart had scars 

He would stay up late talking to the stars 

People tried to blame him for making bad choices 

When he was only listening to the voices 

And searching for some kind of deeper truth 

Between the lines and the Bible and living proof 

There's no point now to judge him in vain 

If you haven't been there, you don't know the pain

He was a liar, but not a fraud 

Living proof that there was no God 

Just the Devil, stiff as a rod 

A slave to a sugartooth 

His life became more than he could take 

He found a bad habit he couldn't break 

Nothing could tame him and nothing could hold him 

He only took the pills when the doctor told him 

Looking to help for the something sweet 

To make his life feel less incomplete 

What in the hell are you gonna do 

When the world has made its mind up about you? 

He was a liar, but not a fraud 

Living proof that there was no God 

Just the Devil, stiff as a rod 

A slave to a sugartooth

He wanted to be a better man 

Then life kicked him down like an old tin can 

He would give you the shirt on his back 

If not for a sugartooth 

They found him lying on his bed 

With a gun in his hand and a quiet head 

His broken heart, now, is finally gone 

But I know that he had to hurt for too long 

To think he had fought it all on his own 

Just to lose the battle and die alone 

After so many years of feeling the loss 

He finally made his way back home 

And I heard they put what was left in a box 

And took it to a place called Jesus Rock 

And scattered him all over jagged mound 

As a symbol to all that the piece had been found 

But not for a sign is left behind 

With a hand stuck reaching back in time 

To a place in which you can never unwind 

I hope he found something so sweet 

He was a liar, but not a fraud 

Living proof that there was no God 

Just the Devil, stiff as a rod 

A slave to a sugartooth 

He wanted to be a better man 

But life kicked him down like an old tin can 

He would give you the shirt on his back 

If not for a sugartooth 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth
