My Sweet Side

I used to be a big deal
You heard me on the radio
But no one knows my name anymore
Used to live without fear
Cameras on the front door
I guess nothing stays the same as before
Hold me down
And tell me I’m doing fine
Sacrifice your dreams for mine
Cos I’m your man
Oh, you only know me
My sweet side
I was the cut that left those scars behind
Each night
We’d put on Jackson Browne and dance like fools in love
In daylight my record spins
And silence swings a pounding sucker punch
Oh, hold me down
You offered your plans and I
Used them to start a fire
Cos I’m your man
Oh, you only know me
One small side
But I was the cut that left those scars behind
I never meant to lend you
All my doubt
Your voice is so quiet
And mine so loud
