Collateral Damage Lyrics by Beth Crowley

2022

We tried to be lovers
Tried being friends
Now we've landed somewhere in
The middle again
I'm just gonna say it
This storyline is getting tired

You're not sure I'm the one so
I'm just filling in
'Til you find something better
Than what I can give
The ironic thing is
You're all I've needed for a while

You'll move on
And I'll be stuck
Having to watch you
Fall in love
I'll manage
But I hope you know
I'm the collateral damage

So caught up
That you won't see
How I'm here waiting
In the wings
I'll manage
But I hope you know
I'm the collateral damage

You get me as well as
Most anyone does
So it's kind of offensive
That I'm still not enough
A rational person
Would have the sense to let it go

Though I can't help but notice
You always come back
And that has to mean something
So screw the white flag
But deep down I'm counting
The days until this all implodes

You'll move on
And I'll be stuck
Having to watch you
Fall in love
I'll manage
But I hope you know
I'm the collateral damage

So caught up
That you won't see
How I'm here waiting
In the wings
I'll manage
But I hope you know
I'm the collateral damage

I put makeup on
So you'll think I'm pretty
I can make you laugh
Don't you think I'm funny?
And I'm smart enough
To predict how it's gonna end
Right from the beginning

You'll move on
And I'll be stuck
Having to watch you
Fall in love
I'll manage
But I hope you know
I'm the collateral damage

So caught up
That you won't see
How I'm here waiting
In the wings
I'll manage
But I hope you know
I'm the collateral damage

I hope you know
I'm the collateral damage
