Damage You Still Do Lyrics

I was 18 again
Begging for you not to leave again
Too eager to be demeaned i guess
Rolled over and let you win

I wasn't mean back then
I wish that I cut you off clean so when
You're thinking of reaching to me
Regret seeps into your skin

But it won't
And it hasn't
You're a danger
You're a hazard
Nothing incites a panic like you
Lost a good thing
While I had it
You reached out
I went manic
Now the thought of him reminded me of you

All the stories I heard bout you were true
Oh what a shame, all the damage you still do

And i'm back there again
A scared little girl, too much pain to share
Prayed to a god but he wasn't there
I put all my faith in you
You were too young to care
Put up your hand, not your cross to bear
Wanted to hate you but wouldn't dare
Sometimes i think i do

But i don't
And i haven't
Found a saviour
In an addict
Nothing drives me erratic like you
Lost a good thing
While I had it
Cuz you reached out
I went manic
Now the thought of him reminds me of you

All the stories I heard bout you were true
Oh what a shame, all the damage you still do

Its no use, you've been barking up the wrong tree
You have no excuse for your vile treatment of me
I ain't gonna lose all the things that make me happy
You don't get to choose when and where you get to love me

Cuz you don't
And you never
I can't do this forever
Wish you (?) the endeavours
Need to decide which is better
Cutting all ties
Leaving tethers
Now the thought of him reminds me of you
I am no longer 18
Neither are you
Oh what a shame, all the damage you still do
