Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You run yourself a-ragged tryin' to be strong
You feel bad when you're doin' nothing 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
You're tough as steel, and you keep your chin up
You don't ever feel like you're good enough
You had the blues ever since you was 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Someone deserted you, the damage was done
You don't deserved to be loved by no one
Hand that would teach you, at the age of two
Were the same hands that'd teach 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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
I've seen you in the kitchen, cookin' me supper
I listen 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 hurts
I stick by you, baby, through thick and thin
No matter what kind of shape you're in
[Verse 8]
'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
