Lyrics
"Damaged Goods"
Before you buy me that drink
Let me tell you one thing
I'm not looking for love,
Another heart to sink
All my Hopes and dreams
I'm at the bar for a reason
since love told me he was leavin
packed his bags, took my heart and ran
with his tail between his legs
he took my heart
and then broke again
[Bridge]
Behind these blue-green eyes
There's a past I can't disguise
[CHORUS]
There are demons and ghosts
Haunting every page of my past
And there is baggage and there is bruising
And where there's bruising there's a break
One I can't fix and so its broken
This heart is out of order
If I could love someone, I would
But I'm just damaged goods.
I'm just damaged goods.
I was in love, but I guess
It wasn't quite enough
Cuz he left me on the curb
With my heart in my hands
Unable to understand
anything
We'd planned to get married
Have a nice little family
Then suddenly
He cut the rope that I was hanging from..
Left me alone in love.
[Bridge]
Behind these blue-green eyes
There's a past I can't disguise
[CHORUS]X2
There are demons and ghosts
Haunting every page of my past
And there is baggage and there is bruising
And where there's bruising there's a break
One I can't fix and so its broken
This heart is out of order
If I could love someone, I would
But I'm just damaged goods.
I'm just damaged goods
