Sweet
Sweet old light
Will you show me the way
Cause I lost you again
Not enemies
We shouldn't be
We should be friends
Don't want to lose you again
Thought I could see now
Thought knew how
Thought knew how
Thought could see now
Thought I knew how
Thought I knew how
Sweet
Like a lover's kiss
Like a melody
That I will miss
Do as you please
But know this
We shouldn't be
Know, I believed
You can show me the way




That I fall for this
And I lost a friend
