Damage Gets Done - Hozier ft. Brandi Carlile

Without shame, two outfits then to my name

You'd end up in one when you'd stay

We had nowhere to go and every desire for goin' there

I heard once, it's the comforts that make us feel numb

We'd go out with no way to get home

And we'd sleep on somebody's floor and wake up feelin' like a millionaire

Wish I'd known it was just our turn (We just got by)

Being blamed for a world we had no power in (But we tried)

You and I had nothin' to show (We didn't know)

But the best of the world in the palm of our hands (Anythin', darlin')

And darlin', I haven't felt it since then

I don't know how the feelin' ended

But I know bein' reckless and young

Is not how the damage gets done

One time we would want for nothin' (One time, we had it all, love)

We knew what our love was worth (When we had nothin')

Now we're always missin' somethin' (I miss when)

I miss when we did not need much

Oh, if the car ran, the car was enough

If the sun shone on us, it's a plus

And the tank was always filled up

Only enough for our gettin' there

That first car was like wings on an angel (You flew away)

Before the whole wide world got too thin (From me then)

I swear goodwill kept up the engine

You were steerin' my heart like a wheel in your hands (Turn back, darling)

And darlin', I haven't felt it since then

I don't know how the feelin' ended

But I know bein' reckless and young

Is not how the damage gets done

Why did we never run

Before our chance was gone?

Why did we never run

Before our chance was gone?

All I needed was someone

When the whole wide world felt young

All I needed was someone

When the whole wide world felt young
