Lyrics

Collateral Damage

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We tried to be lovers

Tried being friends

Now we've landed somewhere in

The middle again

I'm just gonna say it

This storyline is getting tired

You're not sure I'm the one so

I'm just filling in

Till you find something better

Than what I can give

The ironic thing is

You're all I've needed for a while

You'll move on

And I'll be stuck

Having to watch you

Fall in love

I'll manage

But I hope you know

I'm the collateral damage

So caught up

That you won't see

How I'm here waiting

In the wings

I'll manage

But I hope you know

I'm the collateral damage

You get me as well as

Most anyone does

So it's kind of offensive

That I'm still not enough

A rational person

Would have the sense to let it go

Though I can't help but notice

You always come back

And that has to mean something

So screw the white flag

But deep down I'm counting

The days until this all implodes

You'll move on

And I'll be stuck

Having to watch you

Fall in love

I'll manage

But I hope you know

I'm the collateral damage

So caught up

That you won't see

How I'm here waiting

In the wings

I'll manage

But I hope you know

I'm the collateral damage

I put makeup on

So you'll think I'm pretty

I can make you laugh

Don't you think I'm funny?

And I'm smart enough

To predict how it's gonna end

Right from the beginning

You'll move on

And I'll be stuck

Having to watch you

Fall in love

I'll manage

But I hope you know

I'm the collateral damage

So caught up

That you won't see

How I'm here waiting

In the wings

I'll manage

But I hope you know

I'm the collateral damage

I hope you know

I'm the collateral damage
