  • I don't mean to be guarded, I don't mean to be rude
    I don't mean to just shut you out, it's just what I've been used to
    My heart got calloused, I don't wanna make that excuse
    It's hard but you're worth it, I just wanna be good for you

    I'm a little damaged, but damn you saw the good
    When everyone saw baggage, you loved when no one could
    Laying in this bed beside you, I don't have to hide away
    You see all the wreckage and it wrecks me that you stay

    When I get lost in my own head, you always tell me the truth
    And girl, you find me right where I am, you're the one thing I can't lose
    Baby, you're my hero, I ain't scared to say that out loud
    You're teaching me to trust again, erasing all my doubts, yeah

    I'm a little damaged, but damn you saw the good
    When everyone saw baggage, you loved when no one could
    Laying in this bed beside you, I don't have to hide away
    You see all the wreckage and it wrecks me that you stay

    You put all the shattered pieces back together, made them better
    You saw what I could be through all the pain

    I'm a little damaged, but damn you saw the good
    When everyone saw baggage, you loved when no one could, yeah
    Laying in this bed beside you, I don't have to hide away
    You see all the wreckage, yeah
    You see all the wreckage, it wrecks me that you stay
    And it wrecks me that you stay Writer/s: Chris Sligh, Mary Kutter, Nathaniel Dean Smith, Paul Wrock
