Damaged Goods Lyrics - La Dispute

She forced a smile 

Said, boy come kiss my mouth 

You know that hope you're holding to 

It looks an awful lot like fear 

Now you're so quick to fall on failure 

And so quick to raise your voice 

Like, if I can't find a mistake to blame 

We didn't have a choice 

Oh, but you had an option 

I was your chance to feel complete 

But when I leaned in close to you 

You kissed your fear instead of me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You had my hand in your hand 

You had my lip in your teeth 

You had my heart on your sleeve 

You had a chance to breathe 

But boy, you wouldn't let your fear recede 

So I moved on 

Oh, and it's too late to change your mind 

Now you got scared, boy, and I got gone 

Now you failed and there's no way to turn back time 

You had your chance 

Boy, I tried 

You tried 

I looked her in the eye and smiled 

My girl, you must understand that fear is not some product that I made 

It crept unwelcome in my head 

The day they had her torn away 

It changed me

Now at the end of every day I lie awake at night and wait to feel 

The wires of my brain get cut and quietly rearranged 

And hear my beaten heart exclaim 

Still I refuse to let her go 

So we escape to our mistakes 

For they wait patiently for us 

Oh, how they always wait for me 

If my fear has kept me here 

Only my fear can set me free 

And I'm sorry dear 

But don't you dare speak another word 

How could I risk holding your heart in me 

While still in love with her
