Collateral Damage

[Verse 1: Female Singer]
I used to carry the weight of their opinions,
Let their voices pull me into their dimensions.
But I’ve learned to walk without looking back,
I’m carving my path, no more running from the facts.
[Pre-Chorus: Female Singer]
I never asked for the scars they gave me,
But I won’t let their shadows define who I’ll be.
[Chorus: Female Singer]
This is collateral damage, it’s what it’s meant to be,
I’m growing and healing, I’m trying to break free
I’ll break the bonds and the lies they tied,
And if I lose them, then so be it, can’t say I never tried.
It’s my revolution, and I’ll let them go,
Collateral damage, but I’m better than they’ll ever know.
[Verse 2: Female Singer]
I loved them like they were all I knew,
But love can’t fix what wasn’t true.
I’m not sorry for the distance I’ve made,
Sometimes you’ve got to leave to find your way.
[Pre-Chorus: Female Singer]
I never asked for the scars they gave me,
But I won’t let their shadows define who I’ll be.
[Chorus: Female Singer]
This is collateral damage, it’s what it’s meant to be,
I’m growing and healing, I’m trying to break free
I’ll break the bonds and the lies they tied,
And if I lose them, then so be it, can’t say I never tried.
It’s my revolution, and I’ll let them go,
Collateral damage, but I’m better than they’ll ever know.
[Bridge: Female Singer]
I’m not sorry for the road I’ve paved,
I’ve built my strength from the choices they made.
I’m walking forward, not stuck in the past,
I’ll rise from the wreckage, I’m free at last.
[Chorus – Big & Final: Female Singer]
This is collateral damage, it’s what it’s meant to be,
I’m growing and healing, I’m trying to break free
I’ll break the bonds and the lies they tied,
And if I lose them, then so be it, can’t say I never tried.
It’s my revolution, and I’ll let them go,
Collateral damage, but I’m better than they’ll ever know.
[Outro: Female Singer]
I’ve shed the weight, I’ve found my ground,
The walls are gone, but I’m still around.
I’m standing tall, not crushed by the wreckage,
Yeah, that’s just collateral damage.
