DON’T SUGAR COAT IT!
Written by: Heather Platania


[Verse 1]
Say it straight, don’t tie it in a ribbon
If it’s over, just say you’re slippin’
Don’t dress your lies in pretty lines
I can read between ‘em every time


[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t made of glass, I won’t break
But I won’t dance around what’s fake


[Chorus]
Don’t sugar coat it, don’t fake sweet
I’d rather bleed than be deceived
Rip the bandage, burn it down
Tell me now or turn around
I don’t need your candy-coated spin
Just the truth — raw and real within
You ain’t sparin’ me with silence
You’re just feedin’ me defiance
So don’t sugar coat it


[Verse 2]
Spare me the “baby, it’s complicated”
That ain’t love — that’s calculated
Your sweet talk’s just venom in disguise
And I ain’t takin’ one more bite this time


[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not scared to feel the sting
But I won’t fall for sweet-nothings


[Chorus]
Don’t sugar coat it, don’t fake sweet
I’d rather bleed than be deceived
Rip the bandage, burn it down
Tell me now or turn around
I don’t need your candy-coated spin
Just the truth — raw and real within
You ain’t sparin’ me with silence
You’re just feedin’ me defiance
So don’t sugar coat it


[Bridge]
Say it sharp, say it loud
Truth cuts cleaner than your doubts
I won’t beg, I won’t plead
Just be real — that’s all I need

[Final Chorus]
Don’t sugar coat it, I’m not blind
I see the cracks behind your smile
Tear the curtain, drop the charade
If it’s goodbye, don’t make me wait
I don’t need your candy-coated spin
Just the truth — raw and real within
You ain’t sparin’ me with silence
You’re just feedin’ me defiance
So don’t sugar coat it —
Don’t sugar coat it
