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
