Collateral Damage

You're probably home, putting cologne on your wrist

You'll be outside when I arrive at six

You'll ask your friends who you should wear

You'll make your bed, hoping we'll sleep there

I've done that too, it's who I've always been

Now I'm rehearsing my clichés

In the car, take the long way

I don't wanna have to breathe in and say

That we should end it

When I said I couldn't love you

I thought I meant it

I wish it could be us two

I hated searching for more person

Made your heart break while I was learning

There's no pill, there's no bandage

You're collateral damage

You could cry or you could curse my name

I wouldn't mind, yeah, I'll just take the blame

'Cause I've never been on this side of it

No, I'm never the one to call it quits

Didn't mean to come off so villainous

You'll tell your friends I let you on

Ask me why it took so long

Before I knew that we were wrong

And we should end it

When I said I couldn't love you

I thought I meant it

I wish it could be us two

I hated searching for more person

Made your heart break while I was learning

I know I left you abandoned

I didn't plan it, but I couldn't fake it

I was only there halfway

You were all the way

Would've moved into my place

I would take a friendship or a check-in

If it hurts too much, I get it

There's no pill, there's no bandage

You're collateral damage

Try to end it, you're my last stand

Can't be done, we'll just have to fight

I don't know how to manage this collateral damage

Try to end it, you're my last stand

I don't know how to manage this collateral damage
