Damaged
Antillas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreaming comes so easily
'Cause it's all that I've known
True love is a fairytale
I'm damaged, so how would I know?
I'm scared, and I'm alone
I'm ashamed and I need for you to know

I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you have taken away
'Cause I feel you
I feel you in me

I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you have taken away
Cause I feel you
I feel you in me

Keep going
Keep going (Can't go back)
Keep going
Keep going (Can't go back)

Can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back

Healing comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Won't let anyone get close to me
I'm damaged as I'm sure you've known
I'm scared, and I'm alone
I'm ashamed and I need for you to know

I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you have taken away
'Cause I feel you
I feel you in me

I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you have taken away
'Cause I feel you
I feel you in me

Keep going
Keep going (Can't go back)
Keep going
Keep going (Can't go back)

Can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back

Can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back

There's only from my soul
And under this fear
Forgiveness falling back; I was stronger
I was just a little girl




But I can't go back
I can't go back
