seem to be the best me
at 4 in the morning
seeking while the rest
in bed just dozing
alarm ring hit that 9-5
lost the urge to even open your eyes
no not for me
i’m really sorry
i let you down again, mom
but I’m trying
driven by the damage
by the damage
you’ve been hurt before me
i can imagine
we’ve all been hurt before
it don’t make you a savage
we’ve all been hurt before
it’s just the way you handle
driven by the damage
by the damage
you’ve been hurt before me
i can imagine
we’ve all been hurt before
it don’t make you a savage
we’ve all been hurt before
it’s just the way you handle
it might take a minute or a life-time
it could take a month or a week
for the right time
and baby when i’m falling you’re my life line
breaking down from my thoughts
in the night time
i would waste away
all summer
look for faces in the crowd
to kill the hunger
block that bitch out
she was tryna bring me under
but then again i was always
down to smother
driven by the damage
by the damage
you’ve been hurt before me
i can imagine
we’ve all been hurt before
it don’t make you a savage
we’ve all been hurt before
it’s just the way you handle
driven by the damage
by the damage
you’ve been hurt before me
i can imagine
we’ve all been hurt before
it don’t make you a savage
we’ve all been hurt before
it’s just the way you handle
driven by the damage
by the damage
you’ve been hurt before me
i can imagine
we’ve all been hurt before
it don’t make you a savage
we’ve all been hurt before
it’s just the way you handle
