[Chorus: The Veronicas]
How could you be just another savage?
Leave me lonely, nothing left to salvage
Nobody knows me better, nobody knows me better
Nobody loved me better, nobody loved me better
How could you be just another savage?
Was it love or collateral damage?
I could've loved you better, I could've loved you better
I should've loved you better
[Post-Chorus: Kerser]
I should've lovеd you better
I should've lovеd you better
I should've loved you better
[Verse 1: The Veronicas]
I spend a lot of time alone
A million scars and broken hearts to call my own
I can't believe that you made hurtin' me look easy
Swore to me that you won't ever let me go now
[Pre-Chorus: The Veronicas]
You go tellin' everybody I'm a psycho
But I already know that you're lying through your teeth
While you're lying next to me
Don't know how I didn't see what was hiding underneath
[Chorus: The Veronicas]
How could you be just another savage?
Leave me lonely, nothing left to salvage
Nobody knows me better, nobody knows me better
Nobody loves me better, nobody loves me better
How could you be just another savage?
Was it love or collateral damage?
I could've loved you better, I could've loved you better
I should've loved you better
[Post-Chorus: Kerser]
I should've loved you better
I should've loved you better (Yeah)
I should've loved you better
[Chorus: The Veronicas]
How could you be just another savage?
Was it love or collateral damage?
I could've loved you better, I could've loved you better
I should've loved you better
[Verse 2: Kerser]
And we're movin' on
You can't be right if you do me wrong
You knew what I was when our tune just stopped
And you found yourself when the truth was lost
So prove me wrong, got my jewellery on
But the bling on my ring finger's moved along
Lighting spliffs to hide the pain, I'd find it strange if we try again
Uh, got a mugshot, nice
Shoulda stayed away from my bloodshot eyes
'Round and 'round, it's a crazy game
The whole plan was you'd take my name
And now things change, they stay the same
If it makes us stop, I'll take the blame
It must be new 'cause you've had enough of me
Now stuck in the loop 'cause you keep asking me how
[Chorus: The Veronicas]
How could you be just another savage?
Was it love or collateral damage?
I could've loved you better, I could've loved you better
I should've loved you better
[Post-Chorus: Kerser]
I should've loved you better
I should've loved you better
I should've loved you better
[Outro: The Veronicas]
How could you be just another savage?
Leave me lonely, nothing left to salvage
Nobody knows me better, nobody knows me better
Nobody loved me better, nobody loved me better

Jess Origliasso:
‘Savage’ was inspired by an old relationship. The hurt and confusion with what happens when you wake up and realise too much has happened to get back to that place of respect and love. We’ve been huge fans of Kerser since his early records. He’s represented an aspect of Australian...
