**THE DAMAGE DONE** **Verse 1** I turned every whisper into reasons to fight, Made a weapon of the words that I twisted that night. You kept reaching for me—I kept pulling away, Too proud to hear the things you were trying to say. Now the silence is screaming, your side of the bed Is a grave for the promises I left for dead. **Pre-Chorus** I see it now, but now’s too late— I was the fire, you took the blame. **Chorus** I am the damage done, I am the loaded gun. I built the walls that locked you out, Then blamed you when you turned around. I live with every cut I made, Every promise I betrayed. You were begging me to stay— I was pushing you away. **Verse 2** I kept a list of your failures to cover my own, Used the cold like a kingdom and called it my throne. Every apology drowned in the venom I spat, Now I’d give anything just to take it all back. But regret doesn’t heal and remorse doesn’t mend All the cracks that I carved where the two of us end. **Pre-Chorus** I know the truth, I know my name— I struck the match and cursed the flame. **Chorus** I am the damage done, I am the loaded gun. I built the walls that locked you out, Then blamed you when you turned around. I live with every cut I made, Every promise I betrayed. You were begging me to stay— I was pushing you away. **Verse 3** No excuses, no disguise, no one else I can blame, I can’t rewrite the past or erase what became. If forgiveness never comes, I’ll accept what I’ve lost, Every lesson has a scar, every choice has a cost. I can’t change yesterday or the pain that you knew, But I swear I’ll never be what I was hurting you. **Breakdown** My fault! My lies! My hands pulled us apart! Your tears! Your cries! Still tearing through my heart! I broke what I loved— Now I live with the scars. I made you a stranger When you gave me your heart. **Final Chorus** I am the damage done, But I won’t keep holding the gun. I’ll tear apart these walls I made, Even if you’ve walked away. I’ll carry every cut and stain, Every memory, every name. You were begging me to stay— I was pushing you away. Now I’m the one who has to face The empty space you left behind.
