Damage Gets Done Songtext
von Hozier feat. 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 going 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 feeling 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 nothing to show (we didn't know anything)
But the best of the world in the palm of our hands, and darling

I haven′t felt it since then
I don't know how the feelin′ ended
But I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done


One time (time) we would want for nothin' (we had it all, love)
We knew what our love was worth (when we had nothing)
Now we′re always missing something (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 getting 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 (just to turn back)
You were steering my heart like a wheel in your hands, and darling

I haven't felt it since then
I don′t know how the feelin′ ended
But I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done

All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
