Lyrics
Every night we'd talk for hours, thought I found a friend Common souls and common ground, something real that wouldn't end But she liked me and I liked her, so we drew a line we couldn't cross She was poly, I was taken, breaking rules wasn't worth the cost We kept it clean, kept it safe, tried to make the friendship last But one night changed everything, and burned it all to ash The party came around, we thought we'd just hang out Drunk and high the lines for us just faded away My mind went blank when you kissed me and asked me to stay... (We crossed a line we swore we'd never touch) Now I'm standing in the wreckage of a choice we both made! You hid it for two days, and we played some stupid game... Then the fallout hit like thunder when the truth came crashing down! You blamed me, blamed yourself, blamed the moment, burned it to the ground! (Burned it to the ground!) Now you're back with him like nothing ever broke! Two friends lost over one mistake we made! I'm just collateral! I'm just collateral! You said I should have stopped us, like I wasn't losing it too Both of us were fucking wasted, neither one could see it through We were reckless, we were weak, we gave in to what we felt Now you cut me out completely, left me here to deal myself He blamed us both, he walked away, but then he let you back in I'm the only one still locked out, paying for the same damn sin And I watched you shut me out No conversation, no way out Just silence where we used to be (I feel like you tossed me away to try and make it right!) Now I'm standing in the wreckage of a choice we both made! You hid it for two days, and we played some stupid game... Then the fallout hit like thunder when the truth came crashing down! You blamed me, blamed yourself, blamed the moment, burned it to the ground! (Burned it to the ground!) Now you're back with him like nothing ever broke! Two friends lost over one mistake we made! I'm just collateral! I'm just collateral! Less than a month and you're back together! Do you even think about me, was I just a side quest to you?! Are you really happy now or just clinging to what feels safe?! While I'm stuck here with the guilt that's eating at my face! We both owned our mistake, didn't twist it, kept it real! But I'm the only one being denied the chance to fucking heal! We both crossed that line, we made the fall... BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE STILL PAYING FOR LOVING YOU AT ALL! Now I'm standing in the wreckage of a choice we both made! You hid it for two days, and we played some stupid game... Now I'm stuck here in the pain of this fallout, laying on the ground! I feel blamed, alone, and guilty, left just to bleed out! (Left just to bleed out!) Are you whole again while I'm falling apart! Two friends gone, nothing but silence! One mistake, but I'm paying the cost! I'm just collateral! I'm just collateral! Do you think of me at all? Or did I disappear when I took the fall? Just another casualty! Just forget about me... Just forget about me! Now I'm standing in the wreckage of a choice we both made! You hid it for two days, and we played some stupid game... Now I'm stuck here in the pain of this fallout, laying on the ground! I feel blamed, alone, and guilty, left just to bleed out! Just forget about me! 'Cause I'm just collateral! I'm just collateral!
