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 f*ck 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
