Sweet Side Lyrics

Sweet Side lyrics

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'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 ...

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

So you don't always show your sweet side ...

I've seen
you in the kitchen cookin' me supper
I listened to you bitchin' 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'll stick by
you baby through thick and thin
No matter what kind of shape you're
in

'Cause I've seen your sweet side ...
