Collateral Damage
Fool that I was I
I fell for your charms
Putting myself
In the way of harm
The words you used
Disguised the facts
I see it clearly
When I look back
Eagerly I followed
And let you in
Dropping the walls
I’d built within
My heart unprotected
You attack my defenses
Turning my head
Sending me spinning
Collateral damage
From when you were here
The love that you gave
Completely disappeared
