"Bring You Down" lyrics

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
