Lyrics
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.
And you don’t do much to sell me I’d be best with you instead
I hate the way I feel, but I don’t think I can change
I just breathe you each day
Are we only damaging the little we have left?
Both of us swimming in the same polluted mess
Are we too damaged now to possibly connect?
To honestly connect?
A lot of time’s been wasted putting off doing the work
If we both step up to own it then I’ll take what’s coming first
Of everything you say, it’s the truth that really hurts
But how could that be worse?
Are we only damaging the little we have left?
Both of us swimming in the same polluted mess
Are we too damaged now to possibly connect?
To ever reconnect?
I’ll say when I’m ready
You’ll know when I’m ready
When I’m ready
(are we only damaging, damaging)
Are we only damaging the little we have left?
Both of us swimming in the same polluted mess
Are we too damaged now to possibly connect?
To honestly connect?
