Damage Lyrics
I found the way
By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
But these are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice
And I want to love
Did I give you much?
Well you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
I only want to be loved
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Why didn't I stay?
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well I just had to leave
There goes everything
Everything
Can I meet you there?
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face
We only want to be loved
We only want to be loved
And I want to be love
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone.
By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
But these are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice
Well you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well I just had to leave
There goes everything
Everything
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face
We only want to be loved
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone.
I suspect this is his most powerfully moving song as it\'s written with such passion. DS captures the pain of a lost relationship that he seems to blame on himself. But can\'t most of us relate to "the love that got away" because we screwed up? That\'s what makes it worse. Such a beautiful song.
Such a powerful song of loss in a relationship. If you've ever lost a loved one due to your mistake, then this resonates. DS is genius!
