Collateral Damage Songtext
von Cross Dog

That night she couldn′t tell you her name
She never owed you a single thing
Her right to leave, your time to go
But you don't
They say she must have known just how it would end
She woke up with her head still reeling
You tell yourself that the struggle was just for show
"Let it go, let it go"

It′s not enough to make it out alive

It's not a set up, not a calculated take down
It's not a word she just throws around
This is a symptom
She′s collateral damage
It′s a symptom
Collateral damage


An epidemic, entitled state of mind
A secret deal where there should be a crime
This is a symptom
She's collateral damage
It′s a symptom
Collateral damage, yeah
But she won't go down without a fight

Two versions of the same damn thing
No need to tell her who they′re gonna believe
Now when she opens her mouth, his voice comes out
It's so loud
She′s not an angel, but they paint her like a devil
At night she worries she's the one to blame
They won't let up until she′s totally filled with doubt
"Break down, break down"

It′s not enough to make it out alive
Alive

It's not a set up, not a calculated take down
It′s not a word she just throws around
This is a symptom
She's collateral damage
It′s a symptom
Collateral damage


An epidemic, entitled state of mind
A secret deal where there should be a crime
This is a symptom
She's collateral damage
It′s a symptom
Collateral damage, yeah
But she won't go down without a fight
Won't go down without a fight
She won′t go down without a fight
She won′t go down without a fight

It's not enough to make it out alive

It′s not a set up, not a calculated take down
It's not a word she just throws around
This is a symptom
She′s collateral damage
It's a symptom
Collateral damage

An epidemic, entitled state of mind
A secret deal where there should be a crime
This is a symptom
She′s collateral damage
It's a symptom
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
