After the Damage Songtext
von Patterson Hood

As soon as I saw you standing there, eyes incomplete
I felt the world slip from under my feet
I felt the world come crashing on me
You could have warned me about my defeat
I paid my attentions, I paid all my fines
For the sake of adventure and losing my mind
Guess I needed somebody to make me a mess
Get me up in the morning and get me undressed
Make sure all my sport coats are clean and well-pressed
Make sure my shortcomings are adequately addressed

And you made me a sandwich and helped me unwind
I left you damaged and out of your mind
You′re as good as good as good can be
And I never thought it would happen to me


How can you leave me now?
After the baggage and babies
After the damage I've done
After the life that you made me
After the damage you′ve done
How can you leave me now?

After the damage you've done
I'll figure it out somehow
How can you leave me now?

After the baggage and babies
After the damage I′ve done
After the life that you made me
After the damage you′ve done
How can you leave me now?
After the damage you've done
How can you leave me now?
