Damaged
Unveiling Emotional Resilience: A Reflection on Overcoming Toxicity
Lyrics
I thought I saw you in the shadows, the shadows, the shadows
I believed I saw your presence in the shadows, repeating the notion.
My eyes playing tricks on me again, I hope
My eyes may be deceiving me once again; I wish this wasn't the case.
The brown fades to grey and the grey turns to dust
The color fades away, transitioning from brown to grey and then to dust.
I forget how we used to be so close
I've forgotten how intimately connected we used to be.
But you were cold and you told me one night
You were distant, and one night you confessed that finding a man like you would be fortunate for me.
That I'd be so lucky to find a man like you, like you
Perhaps I should appreciate my current situation.
But maybe I should count my blessings
Expressing gratitude for not being like you.
Cause I'm not like you, I'm nothing like you
Highlighting the contrast between myself and you.
Maybe there's a reason that I'm not as damaged as you
Speculating on reasons for not experiencing the same level of damage as you.
Not as damaged as you
Reiterating the idea of not being as damaged as you.
And I know that my mother would agree
Mentioning that my mother shares a negative opinion of you.
Of course she thinks you're a bully
Stating that she perceives you as a bully.
And I know that your daughter would agree
Indicating that your daughter also agrees with this negative view.
They do agree and they always will
Asserting that agreement persists and will continue.
Maybe I should count my blessings
Repeating the idea of acknowledging my current positive state.
Cause I'm not like you, I'm nothing like you
Reemphasizing the difference between us.
Maybe there's a reason that I'm not as damaged as you
Suggesting there might be a specific reason for my lesser level of damage.
Not as damaged as you
Repeating the notion of not being as damaged as you.
Maybe I should write a book about how I'm not like you
Contemplating the idea of writing a book highlighting my dissimilarity to you.
And never be like you
Committing to never becoming like you.
And how I know I'm so, so lucky
Acknowledging my awareness of being fortunate, regardless of your actions towards me.
No matter what you do to me, I'm not as damaged as you
Reiterating that I remain less damaged than you despite your actions.
