Be Sweet
Souvenirs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I come here everyday

Nothing ever seems to change

I guess the comfort of routine

Has a soft grip on me

I put my reasons in your face

And hear You reply you're right again

and you're alone again aren't you

Congratulations

Could we take it from the top?

Run it back one time?

I could change my tone of voice

Admit I'm wrong when I'm right

Can we get back to where we came from ?

I know you're hurt and I have no excuse.

I'm sorry it's hard to change a mind but I swear I love you.

I feel the need like a car when the brakes screech

I wanna hear the sound of broken glass.

What do you mean it doesn't matter if you love me?

I don't care if you're right you need to be sweet.

Learning how to wait

One year at a time

Don't ask if I'm okay

I'll always say I'm fine

Learning how to wait

One year at a time

Don't ask if I'm ok

It's gonna make me cry
