Damaged Goods Lyrics
IN TOO DEEP
The little things we done
The little things we hide
The empty road we walk
And leave ourselves behind
We saw this come before
Did nothing at all
And I know we’re in too deep
Bring it back take a hold of me
And I know you’ll never see
Bring it back take a hold of me
The time is now – it’s right
The time is all we had
For empty promises
For leaving when we can
ON MY WAY
Got a chance of a life worth living
Another way I know that I’d be given
If I pulled myself up away from the line
It wasn’t clear at first - it never is
It was just something that I couldn’t see
I’d look away for the last time
And no-one else would set me free
Only I man I know to be is me
I’m on my way
If you wanna know
I’m on my way
I’m going home
A life worth living is how I can make it
It won’t be given so I have to take it
I’m just a step away from living
IF THIS IS THE END
A hardened smile of broken dreams
Worse than your heart with no more room left to bleed
No escape, no way out, no time to breathe
I’ve looked deep into you fallen down
Reflected back was a horror of ways
We could let ourselves down and I know it won’t change
And I walked down this road before
I knew how it was then
Now I know it again
There was a calm before the storm
No way we can mend
If this is the end
I’ve been a secret, a lie before
Pretended I can be other than this now we know that I can’t
I can make a heart ache – it can burst with one look
One mistake, no regrets should ever make the man
TURN ME LOOSE
Could you have found another man
That made you feel this way?
Another person that could break you
With the words they say
I’m not a man that can just love or
Give myself complete
I’m just pretending – always have –
I could be all you need
I’ve never been that for another
I’ve always let them down
The way I am will stay the same
Cos I don’t care enough to change
Turn me loose
Just let me go
I’m not the one that you needed to know
That’s not the man I think you know it
That’ll I’ll ever be
Looked at myself and hated what it was
Looked back at me
So I should stop and just accept it now
It’s what I am
Just all I can be
YOU MAKE IT EASY
Remember that day
You came and you told me you
Never should have been before
But then it’s too late to argue
It’s only a version of what we know
It doesn’t matter how easy you make it
I know I should lay you down
It doesn’t matter - I know it won’t end
I know I should lay you down
Was only then when I recognised
I should always take hold of you
All I ever could make it
Was something to make me want more than you
RUNAWAY
Waited for this day so long
Now we don’t even know
What could ever make it work?
Was I sure? How could I know?
Something’s shaken me and I wonder why
Find a way for it to change
Runaway or stay the same
Find a way for it to change
Runaway or stay the same
How’d I ever get this far
Behind with no regrets?
I couldn’t see a better way
And I don’t care if I never do
MY WOMAN COMES ON STRONG
There’s only one thing I didn’t tell
Didn’t hold it close so I raised my dose
I get around, get around my love
And it shows me it’s a long way down
Oh no
She come a walk, and a strut around
And she waves her style to lay me down
There’s only one reason that I hold you
And tell myself did you know.
Did you know?
My highs to low
Better to see you should not care
So you don’t get in the way
Better to see you won’t be there
How long should we play this game?
My woman comes on strong
She knows my day is weak and a night is long
Give it all
My woman won’t be told
She won’t be told so easily
So I give in
NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE
I broke the line - Untold divine
Feel a rush, I am free
What’s this wave over me
I forget now what I’m told
As my story unfolds
How could this be?
How could I let it go, I see no end
So I’ll take in all you have to give
Make it harder with you by my side
If we fall, there’s nowhere left to hide
Only us now – here we are
We drowned in life – we’ve come too far
Here I stand, incomplete
Watch this wave crash over me
How could this be?
ONE MORE SIP
Find myself face down in the dirt
Always my home alone broken and hurt
Black and blue and stinking like death
Mouth always dry and a pain in my head
I’ve been here so many times
But only know one thing to do
Give myself a better time and drink my way through
And I might as well take one more sip
When I finish I’ll start over again
I said I might just drink myself to death
Open my eyes, take another shot of life
Sleep when I’m dead, just gotta try to stand
I’m not complaining it’s how I want to stay
Lord you can join me or get out of my way
Give the cold shoulder to hope and joy, it’s really not my bag
I can’t see – don’t know where I am
Don’t care how long it lasts
IT NEVER GETS OLD
I’ve waited so long
For the mighty to fall
I’ve waited so long
To see your face as you fall
I’ve waited so long
To look down on you
I’ve waited so long
I don’t know how to
But you owe nothing to me and I’m a fool
My eyes are open and now I see
Bring me back
To the line, it’s what we do
Bring me back
To the line, it’s what we do
I tried so hard
To believe I could be
More than you need
I tried so hard to see
WALKING THE LINE
Could never tell what real life was
Had no meaning no home
Light in the dark is what you gave
Brought me back from the brink – I was saved
And I realise I never tried
Til I had that look in your eyes
I was walking the line
So long, so hard
I was walking the line
Til you came along
I found life the first time I held you
I’d been away for too long
Bring me back, bring me back to a home
You’ll always have in my arms
Seeing you grow is all I ever need
You’re the light that shines its way through me
THE LITTLE THINGS
The little things we done
The little things we hide
The empty road we walk
And leave ourselves behind
We saw this come before
Did nothing at all
And I know we’re in too deep
Bring it back take a hold of me
And I know you’ll never see
Bring it back take a hold of me
The time is now – it’s right
The time is all we had
For empty promises
For leaving when we can
