Damage

I thought I had been doing pretty well

At suppressing the things in my head

I wonder if you really understand

All those words I shouldn’t have said

Did you believe me when I told you

How I felt when you hurt me?

Did you even stop to think that perhaps

When I said I love you, you should believe me?

 

Those three words are more powerful

Than anything you’ve ever pretended to feel

I showed you my heart, and you tore it apart

I tried to make you see, that you’re important to me

But no, I just don’t matter to you at all

I’m unimportant to your master plan

I tried not to fall and I lost it all

But for you to care is oh, so rare

 

Wake me up when you finally see

There are few things better for you than me

Hopefully by then I’ll have figured out

I don’t need you, without a doubt

You’ll want me but I’ll be stronger

I’ll find someone who can love me longer

And you’ll be just a vacant memory

Of someone who used to damage me

 

You’re the kind of man

Who wants what he can’t have

Once you think I’m over you

You’ll want me, but I’ll just laugh

Cause I’ll have moved on to better things

I’ll have realized how bad you are for me

I’ll know there’s more out there

I don’t have to just sit there and bleed

 

Wake me up when you finally see

There are few things better for you than me

Hopefully by then I’ll have figured out

I don’t need you, without a doubt

You’ll want me but I’ll be stronger

I’ll find someone who can love me longer

And you’ll be just a vacant memory

Of someone who used to damage me

 

 

Don’t you see I’m too good for you

Get lost in what you will never have

Don’t you see I’m too good for you

Get lost in what you will never have

 

Wake me up when you finally see

There are few things better for you than me

Hopefully by then I’ll have figured out

I don’t need you, without a doubt

You’ll want me but I’ll be stronger

I’ll find someone who can love me longer

And you’ll be just a vacant memory

Of someone who used to damage me

 

Yeah cause you are only a memory

Of the man who used to damage me
