Sweet Enough

I speak a little softer
You lean in when I do
Funny how the quiet ones
Can make a room move too

I smile
You relax
That's usually when
I know I've got you

I don't make a lot of noise
I don't need to be heard
You can keep on talking
I'll remember every word

I let you tell your story
The way you want it told
I nod like I believe you
It's almost getting old

You think I'm easy to read
'Cause I don't say too much
You see a little smile
And think you've seen enough

You like me better when I'm quiet
When I don't ask too much
So I give you what you came for
A little smile, a little trust

You keep looking for the warning
Like it's written on my face
Maybe you're looking in the wrong place
I'm sweet enough

To make you stay
Soft enough
To get my way
You can call me innocent

If it makes you feel okay
I'm sweet enough
Aren't I, babe?
Sweet enough

You like it that way
Never too much
Never too late
You can keep believing

I'm exactly what you see
I'm sweet enough
That's enough for me
I remember little details

You forgot you ever said
The name you shouldn't mention
The place you shouldn't have been
I don't collect your secrets

I just never throw them out
You keep giving me the answers
Without me asking how
I don't have to chase you

I don't have to make you jealous
You come a little closer
Every time I say I'm helpless
You like me better when I'm quiet

So I let you have your peace
You keep thinking you're in control
I don't see the need to disagree
You keep looking for the warning

But you're standing way too close
Maybe that's the part you chose
I'm sweet enough
To make you stay

Soft enough
To get my way
You can call me innocent
If it makes you feel okay

I'm sweet enough
Aren't I, babe?
Sweet enough
You like it that way

Never too much
Never too late
You can keep believing
I'm exactly what you see

I'm sweet enough
That's enough for me
Maybe I don't say enough
Maybe that's the trick

You fill in all the empty spaces
With whatever makes you comfortable
You call me harmless
I don't correct you

You call me sweet
I just smile
Because I already know
I smile when I already know

I smile when I already know
You thought I wasn't listening
I was
You thought I didn't notice

I did
You thought I didn't know
I did
I'm sweet enough

To make you stay
Soft enough
To get my way
You can call me innocent

If it makes you feel okay
I'm sweet enough
Aren't I, babe?
Sweet enough

You like it that way
Never too much
Never too late
You can keep believing

I'm exactly what you see
I'm sweet enough
That's enough for me
I don't have to raise my voice

You hear me anyway
I smile
You relax
And I already know
