Collateral Damage

Feeling better? Did you cater
To all your needs that made you feel unsettled?
Do I matter? Cause I would rather you not toss me aside and make me feel like clutter
Tell me
Do you care if I'm scared?
When you yell and I don't feel safe
Do you I know what I hold?
I've been here before

And I'll be damned if I let all this happen once more
Take the heat for things I'm not responsible for
Knowing my feelings are not as important as yours
Let me know when you're ready to bleed like I've done, for us

When you talk, should I not?
Is that the way you want things to flow?
I hold on, you open up
Cause only one of us is allowed to do so
Just once, can I be right?
If I try, can you not fight back?
Check if I'm hurting
It can't always be on me to be understanding

And I'll be damned if I let all this happen once more
Take the heat for things I'm not responsible for
Knowing my feelings are not as important as yours
Let me know when you're ready to bleed like I've done, for us

I'll cry all night
You won't check if I'm doing alright
I'll be your punching bag
Collateral damage for your inner war

And I'll be damned if I let all this happen once more
Take the heat for things I'm not responsible for
Knowing my feelings are not as important as yours
Let me know when you're ready to bleed like I've done, for us
