I am damaged and I don't want you to know
Under bandages are wounds I'll never show
I dress them well before you come around
They're wrapped up till you go
'Cause I am damaged and I don't want you to know

There are many pictures hung up on my wall
And I have let you think that you have seen them all
But I take some down before you come around
It's propaganda, yeah, I know
But I am damaged and I don't want you to go

Read the inside and you'll find some rotten boards
It's so I paint the outside with only major chords
And I won't lie, but I'll hide things in the basement down below
'Cause I am damaged and I don't want you to know
'Cause I am damaged and I don't want you to know
