My Sweet Side

[Verse 1]
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 at the front door
I guess nothing stays the same as before

[Chorus]
Hold me down
And tell me I'm doing fine
Sacrifice your dreams for mine
'Cause I'm your man
Oh, you only know me, my sweet side
I was the cut that left those scars behind

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, hold me down
You offered your plans and I
Used them to start a fire
'Cause I'm your man
Oh, you only know me, one small side
But I was the cut that left those scars behind

[Outro]
I never meant to lend you all my doubt
Your voice is so quiet
And mine, so loud
