Lyrics

I thought being clean and good was the right thing to do
Tow the line, work hard I will be free
Seems to me that promises too good to be true
Too much pleasing them no pleasing me

Now regrets are flooding in, like ants under my skin
Rising up into my head, and in my brain they get overfed

I thought being straight and wise was the right thing to do
Left side of the road right side of the law
When I found your love, my world turned the brightest of hues
Dressed in glitter red your fragrance pure

Now I see your darker side, your smile turning to a sneer
Stealing years of my life, cherry dreams descend into fear

Sweet scented cherry bomb you lied to me
Made me happy then put me in a rage
Sweet scented cherry bomb no good for me
Gave me freedom then locked me in a cage

I don't want your sympathy, I just want you by my side
I know you're no good for me, but you're a place where I can hide

Had to let you go I know it was the right thing to do
Sweet to bitter turned your perfume sour
If only I had known that day I first danced with you
How strong your hold how total was your power

Now you see my stronger side, you got no power over me
There’s no more stolen years, cherry nightmare disappears

Sweet scented cherry bomb you lied to me
Made me happy then put me in a rage
Sweet scented cherry bomb no good for me
Gave me freedom then locked me in a cage

So the next thing I know, I’m gliding through the air – you know that really sweet summer air? I feel it brushing over my back, the blue green sea floats like a soft bed down below, the wind gently hisses in my ear, then this red seagull swoops down beside me and he says “what you doing, you don’t belong here?” and I say “no, I belong here” he says “You dropped the bomb?” and I say “yeah, that’s why I’m here”
