Collateral Damage

I thought you could always be
Thought you were the one for me
The thought of you as a memory

I know that I couldn't see
You would never let me be
How could we ever just be free

I thought you could always be
Thought you were the one for me
The thought of you as a memory

I know that I couldn't see
You would never let me be
How could we ever just be free

You never thought it would happen
I always thought that we would be laughing
But it was never the dream we always wanted it to be
It was just something neither of us could really believe
You just looked to hide your insecurity
And I just wanted something from my memories
You reminded me of her and I wanted to recreate everything we had
But you could never be anything remotely close and it makes me mad
That I used you to build something from my past
So get in your car and go to leave
The snow falls, and the sky bleeds
You were never enough for it to be
I used you to rebuild me

I thought you could always be
Thought you were the one for me
The thought of you as a memory

I know that I couldn't see
You would never let me be
How could we ever just be free

I thought you could always be
Thought you were the one for me
The thought of you as a memory

I know that I couldn't see
You would never let me be
How could we ever just be free

I tried to hard with everything I had to make something special for us both
But even on that vacation and we stood together embraced on the coast
I listened to the sound of the ocean and the smell of the air
And suddenly you and me were no longer there
All I could see and feel was the touch of her hair
I know it was wrong of me to show you how much I cared
But I think it was only because you were just there
And I was still in love and just used you to get close to her
In the end it wasn't enough and all I did was just cause more hurt
For my own selfish needs, but honestly, part of me
Still doesn't give a fuck and I got what I need

I thought you could always be
Thought you were the one for me
The thought of you as a memory

I know that I couldn't see
You would never let me be
How could we ever just be free

I thought you could always be
Thought you were the one for me
The thought of you as a memory

I know that I couldn't see
You would never let me be
How could we ever just be free

You can go ruin someone elses life and move on
I was never afraid of monsters because I've always been one
