If I was in your way Why didn’t you just say so Just toss me to the side And head north Instead you took me along with you Kicked me across the street Dragged me through the dirt Until the air in me had deflated Until you got to your destination Until I had served you my purpose Until you left me just as you’d found me — In the way, now flat and lifeless

Collateral Damage
If I was in your way Why didn’t you just say so Just toss me to the side And head north Instead you took me along with you Kicked me across the street Dragged me through the dirt Until the air in me had deflated Until you got to your destination Until I had served you my purpose Until you left me just as you’d found me — In the way, now flat and lifeless
