Sweet Side |
You run yourself ragged tryin' to be strong |
You feel bad when you done nothin' wrong |
Love got all confused with anger and pride |
So much abuse on such a little child |
Someone you trusted told you to shut up |
Now there’s a pain in your gut that you can’t get rid of |
No one heard your screams when you were nine |
When bad dreams filled your summertime |
So you don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You’re tough as steel and you keep your chin up |
You don’t ever feel like you’re good enough |
You’ve had the blues ever since you were six |
Your little tennis shoes and your pick-up sticks |
You were screamed at and kicked over and over |
Now you always feel sick and you can’t keep a lover |
Every Christmas there were presents to unwrap |
But the things you witnessed when you were five and a half |
So you don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
Someone deserted you, the damage is done |
Now you don’t deserve to be loved by no one |
Hands that would feed you when you were two |
Were the same hands that beat you black and blue |
You get defensive at every turn |
You’re overly sensitive and overly concerned |
Few precious memories no lullabies |
Hollowed out centuries of lies |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
You don’t always show your sweet side |
I’ve seen you in the kitchen cookin' me supper |
I listened to you bitchin' and I watched you suffer |
I still love you, baby, 'cause I know you |
Don’t mean to do the cruel things you do |
I’ve seen you sewin' buttons on your shirt |
I’ve seen you throwin' up when your stomach hurt |
I stick by you, baby, through thick and thin |
No matter what kind of shape you’re in |
'Cause I’ve seen your sweet side |
I’ve seen your sweet side |
I’ve seen your sweet side |
I’ve seen your sweet side |
I’ve seen your sweet side, baby |
I’ve seen your sweet side |
I’ve seen your sweet side, baby |
I’ve seen your sweet side |
