Damaged
Plummet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it's all that I've know
True love is a fairy tale
I'm damaged
So how would I know
I'm scared
And I'm alone
And I need for you to know
I didn't say all the things I wanted to say
But you can't take back
What you keep taking away
'Cause I feel you
I feel you, near me
I didn't say all the things I wanted to say
But you can't take back
What you keep taking away
'Cause I feel you
I feel you, near me
The feeling comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Many won't get close to me
I'm damaged
As I'm sure you 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 I wanted to say
But you can't take back
What you keep taking away
'Cause I feel you
I feel you, near me
I didn't say all the things I wanted to say
But you can't take back
What you keep taking away
'Cause I feel you
I feel you, near me
There is nothing before my soul
And into this fear
Forgiveness for a man
Who is stronger
I was just a little girl
But I cant go back
I can't go back (x7)
I must go (x4)

@cherizar1854
you have no idea of the impact your aunt had on my life. I am now an adult, but I remember listening to this very song when I was just a kid and the mysterious healing factor that it provided me with during a dark time of my life. there's just something very special about this particular version that really reached my soul when I needed it the most. I am so sorry she passed away, but she leaves a beautiful legacy behind. I just hope she was aware of this legacy. As you can tell from all the comments, there are many people who feel the same <3 forever will have a special place in my heart. <3 <3 <3

The year was 2003. I was in Club La Vela in Panama City, Florida attending naval dive school. I remember hearing this song on the dance floor with a girl that was there on vacation. Life was great.
Hearing this song takes me back to better times.
