It Could Be Sweet lyrics

I don't want to hurt you

For no reason I have but fear

And I ain't guilty of the crimes you accuse me of

But I'm guilty of fear

I'm sorry to remind you

But I'm scared of what we're creating

This life ain't fair

You don't get something from nothing, turn now

Mmm, gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet

Like a long forgotten dream...

And we don't need them to cast the fate we have

Love don't always shine through

'Cos I don't wanna lose

What we had last time, you're leaving

This life ain't fair

You don't get something from nothing, turn now

Mmm, gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet

But the thoughts we try to deny

Take a toll upon our lives

Struggle on in depths of pride

Tangled up in single minds

'Cos I don't wanna lose

What we had last time, you're leaving

This life ain't fair

You don't get something from nothing, turn back

Mmm, gotta try a little harder

'Cos I don't wanna lose

What we had last time, you're leaving

This life ain't fair

You don't get something from nothing, turn back

Mmm, gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet...
