Diet Coke
She likes the taste of tears in her diet coke
on the sweetest day of defeat
They slide down her cheeks and into
her open can as she sips
Tasting her pain as if it was the first time
knowing it wont be the last
The carbonation almost hides the salty
treat but she knows theyre there
She likes the taste of tears in her diet coke
on the loneliest day of her life
As they slide down her cheeks and into
her open can as she sips
Tasting the loneliness as if it was the first time
knowing it wont be the last
The sugar almost hides the salty
treat but she knows theyre there
She likes the taste of tears in her diet coke
just like a masochist likes pain
And those beautiful smiles she fakes
hides those salty treats
that find theyre way in to her diet coke
