COLLATERAL DAMAGE

Lời bài hát

[INTRO — Crunchy guitar riff + tight drums] [MALE] You wanted him gone, You wanted him locked away, You thought you’d take his freedom, And we’d just walk away. [FEMALE] You called us collateral damage… Like we had nothing to lose. [MALE] But you made one hell of a mistake, When you gave us something to prove. [CHORUS — MALE + FEMALE] You can take what you want, You can take what you can, But you can’t take the ones I love, And you can’t change who I am. You pushed us too far, You tried to tear us apart, You called us collateral damage… But you couldn’t break my heart. [VERSE 1 — MALE] You came looking for something, Something you could take, Left us holding the pieces Of every mess you made. You put that motor on the line, For a debt that wasn’t ours, And while you played your games, We were left picking up the scars. [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE] Then you gave him something dangerous, Put it right into his hands, Then pulled him further from us, Further than I could understand. [CHORUS — MALE + FEMALE] You can take what you want, You can take what you can, But you can’t take the ones I love, And you can’t change who I am. You pushed us too far, You tried to tear us apart, You called us collateral damage… But you couldn’t break my heart. [VERSE 2 — FEMALE] You gave him things that changed him, Things he never needed, While I was trying to bring him home, You kept pulling him away. I watched him disappear, Right in front of my eyes, While I was trying to save him, You kept feeding him lies. [BRIDGE — FEMALE] And you put something in my drinks, While I trusted you, I still can’t understand How you could do what you do. You wanted us broken, You wanted us gone, But somehow through the darkness, We kept holding on. [FINAL CHORUS — MALE + FEMALE] You can take what you want, You can take what you can, You can try to take our future, But you can’t take who we are. You pushed us too far, You tried to tear us apart, You called us collateral damage… But you couldn’t break my heart. [OUTRO — GUITAR RIFF + DRUM HIT]
