Never Sweeter Lyrics

You were never sweeter
Than right before you broke
I was never smarter
Than right before I spoke
Nothing ever happens
Just the way we plan
All of us unfolding
Any way we can
A hand that hits across the face
Reads better on the news, but
The hand can strokes you tenderly
Can leave a bigger bruise
And nothing I can say now
Will be of any use

You were never sweeter
Than right before you broke
I was never smarter
Than right before I spoke
