My Sweet Side

(album: New Haze - 2020)

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
