Bring You Down

I met you out runnin' round

You lit up this whole damn town

As we danced underneath the stars

You said don't get to close 'cause I've got scars

I'll bring you down

I said you know I am not afraid

You said that no ones ever looked at you that way

You own my soul right then and there

And I knew I didn't have a prayer

You brought me down, nice and slow

To that place I never thought I'd go

I bought your love and you stole my heart

I knew right from the start

You bring me down

Oh, you brought me down

Learned how hard that cold wind blows

Every time I picked you up and carried you home

But I always knew one simple fact

I loved you more than you could love me back

You bring me down

Oh, you brought me down

You always knew there'd come a day

I'd back out and stay that way

My demons finally did me in

Wish I could see you again

So you could bring me down

Oh let you bring me down

Brought you down, nice and slow

To that place you never wanted to go

You were throwing rocks at every dog that barked

You said it felt good but didn't get you far

Just brought you down

Oh, it just brought you down

Every night my heart just screams

When I see us dancing in my dream

Right there underneath the stars

You said don't get to close 'cause I've got scars
