Lyrics

Sugar on the Rim

[Intro]

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

[Verse 1]

Do you taste old shame when you lick my wounds?

'Cause I feel redeemed in spite of you

Had a life in hiding but a storm kept coming in

Could you be the silver lining like sugar on the rim?

[Pre-Chorus]

You took me by

You took me by

You took me by

Surprise

You took me by

You took me by

You took me by

Surprise

[Chorus]

Never felt this sensation

A kiss to every scar

Eclipse my expectation

Shock to my heart

Sugar on, sugar on

Sugar, sugar on the rim

On the rim

[Verse 2]

I love to play with our shadows

In and out of the glow

I'm not afraid of a dark side

Just tell me things I don't know

Maybe we just had to feel it

So we'd know the difference (Difference)

When we tell our gory story

With a sweetness on our lips

[Pre-Chorus]

You took me by

You took me by

You took me by

Surprise

[Chorus]

Never felt this sensation

A kiss to every scar

Eclipse my expectation

Shock to my heart (Sugar on the rim)

Never felt this sensation (Sensation)

Kiss to every scar (Scar)

Eclipse my expectation

Shock to my heart (Sugar on the rim)

[Bridge]

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Sugar on the rim

Bitter if you walk away

Mmm, sweeter if you stay

Bitter if you ever walk away

'Cause it just gets sweeter by the day

Bitter if you walk away (Sugar on the rim)

Mmm, sweeter if you stay

Bitter if you ever walk away (Walk away)

'Cause it just gets sweeter by the day

[Chorus]

Never felt this sensation

A kiss to every scar

Eclipse my expectation

Shock to my heart (Sugar on the rim)

Never felt this sensation (Sensation)

Kiss to every scar (Scar)

Eclipse my expectation

Shock to my heart

Sugar on, sugar on

Sugar, sugar on the rim

On the rim
