Collateral Damage - Greensky Bluegrass

You tempt me with your wild ride

Living in the darkness of the shadow by your side

But for all I give and what I gave

There’s little to be seen of the thanks that you’ve made

And I don’t wanna be towed like baggage

Or left behind like the wreckage

Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end

Like collateral damage

Alone I wait through the weeks

But no word is louder than your silence speaks

If I close mine will yours repeat

The action of a heart accepting defeat?

I don’t wanna be towed like baggage

Or left behind like the wreckage

Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end

Like collateral damage

And if I move on and shut you out

Held up with pieces that will fail without doubt

And you open up for me again

And foolish I fall, learning nothing from where we’ve been

I don’t wanna be towed like baggage

Or left behind like the wreckage

Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end

Like collateral damage

I don’t wanna be held so careful

Or brushed aside too fragile

I just need to be loved like something that mattered

Like collateral damage
