A tale of heartbreak, retribution & escape. A beaten wife desperate to leave; the husband & the distant stranger who's loved her all his life - trouble is, that's just one man.

Do you know, I have absolutely no idea where this came from. The music & lyrics flowed from nowhere onto the page. The song was written & recorded in a day.

It is absolutely one of my favourites on the album.

Oh Candy
Saw you running from his bed
After all the things you said
I don't wanna know
Oh Candy
Said you'd had enough of men
So why go through this again
Won't you ever learn

Bruises last more than the time they take to fade
Scars don't heal if if this how they're made
You just don't need this comfort if this is how you're paid
Not with a knife
This isn't life

Oh Candy
Every time I see you cry
I just want to ask you why
You don't look at me
Oh Candy
I just wanna lend a hand
You don't need another man
I'm still waiting

Oh Candy
Please don't go back to this guy
Have you ever wondered why
I keep watching
Oh Candy
Why don't you spend more time with me
Only I can set you free
And forever

Take a last look at a life to leave behind
Don't hesitate, you know that life can be unkind
Please believe me it's the last thing on my mind
To ever hurt you, hurt you

Oh Candy
Won't you let me just explain
Why we go through this again
I've been thinking
Oh Candy
Why'd you look at me that way
Every time I try to say
I've not been drinking

Why d'ya have to have to cry & lay there on the floor
Don't tell me your lies, I've heard 'em all before
Why d'ya hate me, just frustrate me

Oh Candy
Watched you sliding from my bed
After everything we said
You're still running
Oh Candy
I've been hiding it for years
Through the bitterness & tears
I still love you
