I speak a little softer
You lean in when I do
Funny how the quiet ones
Can make a room move too
I smile
You relax
That's usually when
I know I've got you
I don't make a lot of noise
I don't need to be heard
You can keep on talking
I'll remember every word
I let you tell your story
The way you want it told
I nod like I believe you
It's almost getting old
You think I'm easy to read
'Cause I don't say too much
You see a little smile
And think you've seen enough
You like me better when I'm quiet
When I don't ask too much
So I give you what you came for
A little smile, a little trust
You keep looking for the warning
Like it's written on my face
Maybe you're looking in the wrong place
I'm sweet enough
To make you stay
Soft enough
To get my way
You can call me innocent
If it makes you feel okay
I'm sweet enough
Aren't I, babe?
Sweet enough
You like it that way
Never too much
Never too late
You can keep believing
I'm exactly what you see
I'm sweet enough
That's enough for me
I remember little details
You forgot you ever said
The name you shouldn't mention
The place you shouldn't have been
I don't collect your secrets
I just never throw them out
You keep giving me the answers
Without me asking how
I don't have to chase you
I don't have to make you jealous
You come a little closer
Every time I say I'm helpless
You like me better when I'm quiet
So I let you have your peace
You keep thinking you're in control
I don't see the need to disagree
You keep looking for the warning
But you're standing way too close
Maybe that's the part you chose
I'm sweet enough
To make you stay
Soft enough
To get my way
You can call me innocent
If it makes you feel okay
I'm sweet enough
Aren't I, babe?
Sweet enough
You like it that way
Never too much
Never too late
You can keep believing
I'm exactly what you see
I'm sweet enough
That's enough for me
Maybe I don't say enough
Maybe that's the trick
You fill in all the empty spaces
With whatever makes you comfortable
You call me harmless
I don't correct you
You call me sweet
I just smile
Because I already know
I smile when I already know
I smile when I already know
You thought I wasn't listening
I was
You thought I didn't notice
I did
You thought I didn't know
I did
I'm sweet enough
To make you stay
Soft enough
To get my way
You can call me innocent
If it makes you feel okay
I'm sweet enough
Aren't I, babe?
Sweet enough
You like it that way
Never too much
Never too late
You can keep believing
I'm exactly what you see
I'm sweet enough
That's enough for me
I don't have to raise my voice
You hear me anyway
I smile
You relax
And I already know
