You tempt me with your wild ride Living in the darkness of the shadow by your side But for all I give and what I gave There's little to be seen of the thanks that you've made And I don't wanna be towed like baggage Or left behind like the wreckage Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end Like collateral damage Alone I wait through the weeks But no word is louder than your silence speaks If I close mine will yours repeat The action of a heart accepting defeat? I don't wanna be towed like baggage Or left behind like the wreckage Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end Like collateral damage And if I move on and shut you out Held up with pieces that will fail without doubt And you open up for me again And foolish I fall, learning nothing from where we've been I don't wanna be towed like baggage Or left behind like the wreckage Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end Like collateral damage I don't wanna be held so careful Or brushed aside too fragile I just need to be loved like something that mattered Like collateral damage
