[Verse 1]
Seem to be the best me
At 4 in the morning
Seeking while the rest
In bed just dozing
Alarm ring hit that 9-5
Lost the urge to even open your eyes
No not for me
I’m really sorry
I let you down again, mom
But I’m trying

[Pre-Chorus]
Driven by the damage
By the damage
You’ve been hurt before me
I can imagine
We’ve all been hurt before
It don’t make you a savage
We’ve all been hurt before
It’s just the way you handle

[Chorus]
Driven by the damage
By the damage
You’ve been hurt before me
I can imagine
We’ve all been hurt before
It don’t make you a savage
We’ve all been hurt before
It’s just the way you handle
[Verse 2]
It might take a minute or a lifetime
It could take a month or a week
For the right time
And baby when I’m falling you’re my lifeline
Breaking down from my thoughts
In the night time
I would waste away
All summer
Look for faces in the crowd
To kill the hunger
Block that bitch out
She was tryna bring me under
But then again I was always
Down to smother

[Chorus]
Driven by the damage
By the damage
You’ve been hurt before me
I can imagine
We’ve all been hurt before
It don’t make you a savage
We’ve all been hurt before
It’s just the way you handle
Driven by the damage
By the damage
You’ve been hurt before me
I can imagine
We’ve all been hurt before
It don’t make you a savage
We’ve all been hurt before
It’s just the way you handle
[Outro]
Driven by the damage
By the damage
You’ve been hurt before me
I can imagine
We’ve all been hurt before
It don’t make you a savage
We’ve all been hurt before
It’s just the way you handle
