damaged goods lyrics

Can I tell you a secret?
I clocked you first
I just didn't want to say anything

Sometimes you can just tell
By the way we look
I don't know what it is
But something calls out my name

It says
Come touch the hole in my chest
I keep closed up with duct tape
And superglue
I have been scratching this itch for so long
Now the bone's started showing through

Check me out, I'm damaged goods
Still f*cked from all the drugs I took
And boy, you'd best believe me
Don't you dare come near me

I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
I'm an injoke to my friends
And they don't think I hеar the awful
Things they say about me
So go ahеad
It's alright
You can kiss me if you like

Can I tell you a secret you already know?
I just want to hear the words come out
Sometimes it's a little like
We speak a different kind of language
To everyone else in the world

You say something too quiet
To hear in a crowd
But I read the bite wounds on your lips

I have spent thousands on therapy
Trying to learn not to do things like this

Check me out, I'm damaged goods
Still f*cked from all the drugs I took
And boy, you'd best believe me
We could cure our crazy for a night
Maybe two
If that's the best thing we can do
Then let's top up each other's glasses
With each other's whisky
Wait, I know your face from somewhere
I think I saw you in a nightmare
We were dancing on the blackened banks
Of a river made of fire

One missed step and I could lose you
We could leave here if we choose
But we are both cold-blooded creatures
And we'd freeze out there

So let our knees touch
Underneath the table

Wrap yourself around me, baby
Like a tag around my ankle

And go ahead
It's alright
You can kiss me if you like

Back then, there was no 'Other Side' to the forest. It went on forever and ever until you turned back or died in there

The perfect place to hide
