SWEET LIFE
(music & lyrics by Rebekah Pulley)

I'm old enough to know better
But I'm still too young to care
About things like dying
And what life is like over there

Though life has sent me down a rough road
I still stop and smell the roses
Though their blooms fall one by one
Just like my years do I suppose

Pour me some sweet life
And give me love to break my heart
Then push me to a limit
I thought I wasn't strong enough to start

You know I'm not the sweet thing
This world set me out to be
I've got a little of that devil
Hiding somewhere deep inside of me

There's an angel on my shoulder
That's been fighting for control
But I don't talk too much about it
Because vanity's a sin. I've been told

Pour me some sweet life
And give me love to break my heart
Then push me to a limit
I thought I wasn't strong enough to start

I'm kind of rough around the edges
But I can polish to a shine
And still appreciate the little things
That I stumble around and find

Though there's not much call for aging lovers and dreamers
You know my heart still beats in time
And I know beauty when I see it
Because I still see it all the time

Pour me some sweet life
And give me love to break my heart
Then push me to a limit
I thought I wasn't strong enough to start
