You were never sweeter
than right before you broke
I was never smarter
than just before I spoke
Nothing ever happens
just the way we plan
All of us unfolding
any way we can
A hand that hits across the face
reads better on the news, but
the hand can strokes you tenderly
can leave a bigger bruise
and nothing I can say now
will be of any use
You were never sweeter
than right before you broke
I was never smarter
than just before I spoke
