The Damage is Done

You can’t get back to
The point you started from
You can’t get back there
The damage is done

I just endured another attack
That I don’t think I really deserved
I’m not going to run
But I’m getting tired of being the one that you burn

With each one you do, you take a step
From where you were in my mind
With each one you do, you take a step from
Whom I thought you were at one time

I find that I’m protecting myself
From the petulant outbursts that come
I find that I’m protecting myself
So I feel better when you are done

I’m better off holding some distance
Between your explosions and me
I’m better off holding some distance
So I’m less hurt when you’re mean

You can’t get back to
The point you started this from
No you can’t get back there
The damage is done

I can’t let you back where
All of the hurt could still hurt in a way that just kills
I can’t let you back
I need a shield so the hurt can remain unfulfilled

Who knows where this leads
Knows how we work if I have to keep stepping back
Who knows where this leads,
Sure as I know there are limits to all these attacks

You can’t get back to
The point you started this from
You can’t get back there
The damage is done
