Damage

I found the way
By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
But these are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice
Did I give you much?
Well, you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
I only want to be loved
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone
Why didn't I stay?
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well, I just had to leave
There goes everything
Everything
Can I meet you there?
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face
We only want to be loved
We only want to be loved
I only want to be loved
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone
