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.
