DAMAGE CONTROL
(John Faye)
I've been writing
your name
In the margins of my mind
Push you under and wonder
How you can never be mine
You've been calling me out
Since the day this love was born
I got nothing to hide
Don't say you haven't been warned
If you need intervention
Then you got my attention
And I'll do everything I can do
Just to keep you whole
But I won't spend the rest of my life
Doing damage control
I'll be coming around
I've been down this path before
Primrose and pavement
Bleeding the way to your door
I'll be talking
you down
I will get inside your core
The foundation is laid
And I'm not afraid anymore
If you need intervention
Then you got my attention
And I'll do everything I can do
Let the truth be told
But I won't spend the rest of my life
Doing damage control
Stay in control
When we're thinking out loud
It's the only voice I hear
Do we dare to remember
The Ides of November next year
If you need my attention
Is it too much to mention
That I'll give and I'll give and I'll give
Everything in my soul
But I won't spend the rest of my life
Doing damage control
