Butterscotch Memories

[Verse 1] Butterscotch wrapper in my pocket, yeah Grandma's secret little gift when mama wasn't watchin' Perfect grades, perfect smile, perfect fuckin' life But behind these mansion walls, we're all just dead inside Therapist says I'm just like my dad Hidin' feelings deep, pretendin' that I'm glad Upper-class masks, we wear 'em like they're gold But that candy sweetness was the only truth I know [Chorus] Butterscotch memories meltin' on my tongue Fake love tastes so bitter when you're young Mercedes in the driveway, emptiness inside Grandma knew the truth behind these lies Behind these lies [Verse 2] Mom's whispers through the walls at night "Everything's okay," but nothin' feels right Trophy case full of plastic victories While my soul's collectin' dust, f*ck these memories Piano lessons every Tuesday afternoon Learning how to play their perfect little tune But Grandma saw right through this bougie shit Slipped me candy kisses, taught me how to live [Bridge] Sometimes I catch that scent and break down Sometimes I wish I could just burn this whole town All these perfect houses lined up in a row Hidin' all the pain that nobody can know Nobody can know [Chorus] Butterscotch memories meltin' on my tongue Fake love tastes so bitter when you're young Mercedes in the driveway, emptiness inside Grandma knew the truth behind these lies Behind these lies [Verse 3] Now I'm poppin' pills to feel somethin' real These suburban dreams ain't part of any deal Wrapped up tight like candy in my palm Therapy sessions just another mom's calm But that butterscotch taste still lingers here Only real thing in this atmosphere Grandma's gone but left me with the truth That love ain't measured by what you can prove [Outro] Butterscotch fading like these memories Only sweet thing in this tragedy Only real thing that set me free Yeah, only real thing that set me free
