Damaged Goods

You stole my soul
left me hollow inside
Broke my heart open
and left me to cry
You scratched my surface
to find my weakness
Threw it back in my face
so I could feel your sickness

Now I’m damaged goods
that’s how you left me
No one wants what’s broken
I’m damaged goods
and thanks to you
truer words were never spoken

You knocked me down 
So you’d be above me
Then fed your ego 
with all of my misery
You ripped me to shreds
for the littlest things
You broke my spirit
Left me here cringing

Now I’m damaged goods
that’s how you left me
No one wants what’s broken
I’m damaged goods
and thanks to you
truer words were never spoken
