We tried to be lovers
Tried being friends
Now we've landed somewhere in the middle again
I'm just gonna say it
This storyline is getting tired
You're not sure I'm the one so
I'm just filling in
'Til you find something better
Than what I can give
The ironic thing is
You're all I've needed for a while
You'll move on
And I'll be stuck
Having to watch you fall in love
I'll manage
But I hope you know I'm the collateral damage
So caught up
That you won't see
How I'm here waiting in the wings
I'll manage
But I hope you know I'm the collateral damage
♪
You get me as well as
Most anyone does
So it's kind of offensive
That I'm still not enough
A rational person
Would have the sense to let it go
Though I can't help but notice
You always come back
And that has to mean something
So screw the white flag
But deep down I'm counting
The days until this all implodes
You'll move on
And I'll be stuck
Having to watch you fall in love
I'll manage
But I hope you know I'm the collateral damage
So caught up
That you won't see
How I'm here waiting in the wings
I'll manage
But I hope you know I'm the collateral damage
I put makeup on so you'll think I'm pretty
I can make you laugh
Don't you think I'm funny?
And I'm smart enough to predict how it's gonna end
Right from the beginning
You'll move on
And I'll be stuck
Having to watch you fall in love
I'll manage
But I hope you know I'm the collateral damage
So caught up
That you won't see
How I'm here waiting in the wings
I'll manage
But I hope you know I'm the collateral damage
I hope you know I'm the collateral damage
