"Something Sweet" lyrics

She sat beside me on the sidewalk in the rain
I told her that "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 your 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
