collateral damage Songtext
von Latchkey Kids

Stuck in the motions
I am motionless
Your deep devotion
I′m still getting used to it
With pen and paper
Rewrite broken promises
So when I lose you later
Would I still be innocent

You came along
Told me I'm worth something
You sang me songs
To patch my peeling skin
Detonated all the traps I set
Wrote my name down
So I don′t forget


I can't reciprocate what I never learned
And what I told myself I don't deserve

You taught me silent love
Her love is too involved
You had broken parents
Was I collateral damage

It′s in the street signs
In movies and TVs
Under lamplights, in books
In food I eat
Can′t seem to shake off what's been done to me

I can′t reciprocate what I never learned and what I've told myself i don′t deserve

You taught me silent love
Her love is too involved
You had broken parents
Was I collateral damage

I can't reciprocate what I never learned and what I′ve told myself i don't deserve
I don't deserve
