Damaged Goods
Foolish to think
I'm changed.
That the heartache
did me good,
and taught me a lesson.
When I know I'd
do all over,
just to feel
complete for
that one perfect moment.
I don't understand
what I do wrong,
I try so hard.
I was told
"you try too hard."
So I loosened up
and gave a little less.
Nothing changed and
I hurt only
because of myself.
That's why I'm
alone right now.
I have nothing better to do,
than sit here and
wallow in self pity.
Wishing should'a
could'a
would'a.
When will I be happy?
That's all I want.
For just one day,
one hour,
one minute,
one second of my life,
I'd give anything
for happiness.
I feel I already have
I guess I didn't try
hard enough,
give as much as I
should have.
It's my own fault.
When will I learn...
I'm damaged goods.
