Damage Done

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 4 months ago 2 min read

*Verse 1**

She never saw the faces, those eyes that cried her name,

She packed up all her secrets, left behind her shame.

With a heart as cold as winter, and dreams of something new,

She took off with her young love, beneath the sky so blue.

**Chorus**

She's running, she's hiding, no care who's left behind,

Her love is self-serving, blind to every sign.

With crocodile tears falling when she's in the wrong,

She never sees the damage left, just keeps moving along.

**Verse 2**

Across the miles she's flying, chasing youthful dreams,

A life without the anchor of the family she redeems.

Promises were shattered, left in pieces in her wake,

Still, she never falters, it's her life she wants to take.

**Chorus**

She's running, she's hiding, no care who's left behind,

Her love is self-serving, blind to every sign.

With crocodile tears falling when she's in the wrong,

She never sees the damage left, just keeps moving along.

**Bridge**

Confront her with the truth, and she'll cry but never break,

No apology, just a tale spun for her own sake.

In a world that's filled with shadows, her heart won't ever mend,

For the truth she cannot see, her selfish love won't end.

**Chorus**

She's running, she's hiding, no care who's left behind,

Her love is self-serving, blind to every sign.

With crocodile tears falling when she's in the wrong,

She never sees the damage left, just keeps moving along.

**Outro**

So here she goes, chasing dreams nobody can hold,

A life painted in sorrow, with stories left untold.

Selfish as the sea, with waves that never land,

A woman with a hollow heart, footprints in the sand.
