Something Sweet

She sat beside me on the sidewalk in the rain
I told her I'm not scared to live, I'm scared to fade
My father told me not to look behind to see how far I came
It keeps getting longer and it's getting late

There's a certain kind of beauty
In the way that people change
But you might never get goodbye
Before the world shakes them away

So darling tell me something sweet before I go
'Cause I might lose some things and people on this road
I'll be stronger in your eyes than I could ever be in my own
So darling tell me something sweet before I go

I stepped out on the street and turned into her gaze
I lost my brother now I'm scared to lose my faith
But I found some solace on your face, don't look away
I need you there for me like wind against the rain

There's a certain kind of beauty
In the way that people change
But you might never get goodbye
Before the world shakes them away

So darling tell me something sweet before I go
'Cause I might lose some things and people on this road
I'll be stronger in your eyes than I could ever be in my own
So darling tell me something sweet before I go

I looked at her, she looked at me
Her hair was dancing in the breeze
I felt the weight of everything
Drift off my back and out to sea
She told me to look up and scream
It's not your fault that people leave
It's not my fault that people leave
It's not my fault

So darling tell me something sweet before I go
