Collateral Damage Lyrics

CHORUS

Am I pathetic for always regretting

The storyline that we portrayed?

Was I anaesthetic to make you forget it

A medic to heal all your pain?

VERSE

Time is a funny thing

It doesn't change anything

It takes and it takes and it takes what I had

And it's fucking up everything

I couldn't connect the dots

So you took all your tainted shots

Collateral damage, the lateral passage

Of pulling the string til it snaps

Literal torture it's breaking my back

You're trying so hard to pave over the cracks

Ironic how you always said you'd be there for me

Until you're not and now your bags are packed

You're taking the pleasure in lyrical wax

How this will be good for us if we relax

Releasing the tension, forgetting to mention

The difficulty in this whole parallax

CHORUS

Am I pathetic for always regretting

The storyline that we portrayed?

Was I anaesthetic to make you forget it

A medic to heal all your pain?

I hope that you will but I know that you won't

A moment in time that I lost to the rope

So for all your mistakes

Now I can't catch a break

All you gave me was heartache

Yeah you left me with heartache

VERSE

I wish that you didn't exist

At least for a moment of bliss

A twist in our story in its former glory

The thought of you's gotten me pissed

I wonder what life would be like

If you hadn't caused such a spike

In dopamine levels, anxiety trebles

The devil shows up in the night

I hope that you will but I know that you won't

Want the best for me, feels like you always explode

I know you're no never for me, story got old

But this one's on the best seller list, coz you sold me out

CHORUS
