Damage You Still Do (Demo)
I was 18 again
Begging for you not to leave again
Too eager to be demeaned, I guess
Rolled over and let you win
I wasn't mean back then
I wish that I'd cut you off clean so when
You're thinking of reaching to me
Regret seeps into your skin
But it won't, and it hasn't
You're a danger, you're a hazard
Nothing incites a panic like you
Lost a good thing while I had it
'Cause you reached out
I went manic
Now the thought of him reminded me of you
All of the stories I'd heard about you were true
Oh, what a shame all the damage you still do
And I'm back there again
A scared little girl, too much pain to share
Prayed to a god but he wasn't there
I put all my faith in you
You were too young to care
Put up your hand
Not your cross to bare
Wanted to hate you but wouldn't dare
Sometimes I think I do
But I don't, and I haven't
Saw a savior in an addict
Nothing drives me erratic like you
Lost a good thing while I had it
'Cause you reached out
I went manic
Now the thought of him reminds me of you
All of the stories I'd heard about you were true
Oh, what a shame all the damage you still do
It's no use, you've been barking up the wrong tree
You have no excuse for your vile treatment of me
I ain't gonna lose all the things that make me happy
You don't get to choose when and where you get to love me
'Cause you don't, and you never
I can't do this forever
Wish you well on the endeavors you choose
Need to decide which is better
Cutting all ties, leaving tethers?
Now the thought of him reminds me of you
I am no longer 18, neither are you
Oh, what a shame all the damage you still do
Begging for you not to leave again
Too eager to be demeaned, I guess
Rolled over and let you win
I wasn't mean back then
I wish that I'd cut you off clean so when
You're thinking of reaching to me
Regret seeps into your skin
But it won't, and it hasn't
You're a danger, you're a hazard
Nothing incites a panic like you
Lost a good thing while I had it
'Cause you reached out
I went manic
Now the thought of him reminded me of you
All of the stories I'd heard about you were true
Oh, what a shame all the damage you still do
And I'm back there again
A scared little girl, too much pain to share
Prayed to a god but he wasn't there
I put all my faith in you
You were too young to care
Put up your hand
Not your cross to bare
Wanted to hate you but wouldn't dare
Sometimes I think I do
But I don't, and I haven't
Saw a savior in an addict
Nothing drives me erratic like you
Lost a good thing while I had it
'Cause you reached out
I went manic
Now the thought of him reminds me of you
All of the stories I'd heard about you were true
Oh, what a shame all the damage you still do
It's no use, you've been barking up the wrong tree
You have no excuse for your vile treatment of me
I ain't gonna lose all the things that make me happy
You don't get to choose when and where you get to love me
'Cause you don't, and you never
I can't do this forever
Wish you well on the endeavors you choose
Need to decide which is better
Cutting all ties, leaving tethers?
Now the thought of him reminds me of you
I am no longer 18, neither are you
Oh, what a shame all the damage you still do
