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