The Damage Is Done Lyrics
Is there a reason
For things that you say?
The way you’re treating me
All the games I won’t play
Well it’s too late, no longer one
Don’t want you, the damage is done
Will you miss me
When I leave you behind?
Will you tell your friends
I treated you unkind?
Well it’s over now, and I’m on the run
I don’t want you, the damage is done
There have been rumors
That my sense of humor is lacking in some ways
To me that’s no reason, it’s tantamount to treason
See what the judge has to say
You need to find someone half as blind
As I am to your games
And maybe you’ll find out what it’s all about
And it can drive you insane
Ooh the damage is done
And now I feel it’s too late
The damage is done
It’s over
Now I’m on the run
And baby you and I know
The damage is done
I feel it’s too late
The damage is done
For things that you say?
The way you’re treating me
All the games I won’t play
Well it’s too late, no longer one
Don’t want you, the damage is done
When I leave you behind?
Will you tell your friends
I treated you unkind?
Well it’s over now, and I’m on the run
I don’t want you, the damage is done
That my sense of humor is lacking in some ways
To me that’s no reason, it’s tantamount to treason
See what the judge has to say
You need to find someone half as blind
As I am to your games
And maybe you’ll find out what it’s all about
And it can drive you insane
And now I feel it’s too late
The damage is done
It’s over
Now I’m on the run
And baby you and I know
The damage is done
The damage is done

In a relationship, it is paramount that the two people get along with one another. If they are not successful in doing so, they can end up very unhappy. These fights can lead to metaphorical “scars” on somebody. The “scars” are things that we must live with, they grow to be a part of who we are. They can never be erased, but instead can be mistakes that we can learn from. In this song, the phrase “the damage is done” is used to describe the damage that a relationship can have on a human being. The “scars” are the damage, and affect who we are as a person. In this song, the author recounts on one of his many relationships that went south. I like to think that Lou Gramm wrote a song about every one of his relationships. Since the band wrote many of its songs in the 1970s, life was different back then; it makes the songs more difficult to relate to.
