You're so alarmed by every twist, the pain

again how they let you down

Routinely scarred by the world

its scenes obscene soberly push you around

Your decorated lace innocence is so profound

Just keep an eye out from behind it

so they'll notice you're still around

So you go to your friends and they love to

look inside of you

You're as sweet as you can be - Step Down, you're through





You talk aloud behind the doors and backs

of people whose help you've found

Parading, always trading privileged words

that help you to win the crowd

Easy to light up a silouette with quotes too loud

They'll realize when all complaints have dried

that you'd never sell them out

Cause you know they're your friends and they love you

look inside it's true

You're as sweet as you can be - Step Down, you're through





With an extreme amount of candor

You'd be lost but very good

And in between responsibilities

You could rule the neighborhood

But your scheming isn't stood

Still you scream - but not at me

(scream)

(instrumental break)









Don't dry your eyes to proudly wear the proof

that suddenly I've let you down

(I don't wanna go unless you let me)

Another reason for you not to live

just stay home and kick around

(I don't wanna know until you tell me)

Just one more slap to your innocence - it all compounds

So while you're struggling from beneath

make sure they don't catch you looking down

(I don't wanna know unless you let me)

Then you tell all your friends it's the last time

but they know more than you

You're as sweet as you could be - Step Down

You're as sweet as you could be - Step Down



You're as sweet as you could be - Step Down

(Sweet as you can be)

You're as sweet as you could be - Step Down

(Sweet as you can be)

You're as sweet as you could be - Step Down

(Sweet as you can be)

You're as sweet as you could be - Step Down

You're as sweet as you can be

(Sweet as you can be)
