You run yourself ragged tryin' to be strong You feel bad when you 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 baby
