Ruin

[Verse 1]

Wish I had brakes for when I start falling

I'm a kid who got her wheels, still learning how to just slow down

And you were a year younger at the same college

Well, maybe it's the way you act above your age that takes me there somehow

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, and I've been here before

Feel the rush, that's how you know it's over

So, if you're gonna open that door

Just know I'm staying up late in bed, wondering

[Chorus]

Will it be T-shirts or candles or birthdays?

Can we agree not to listen to Lennon?

'Cause then I can't play back "Yesterday"

And maybe I'm making too much out of a good thing

Oh, but if you leave me in ruins (Ruins)

Could you not ruin those things for me?

[Post-Chorus]

Do, do-do-do, do-do

Do-do, do-do

Do, do-do, do-do, do

[Verse 2]

And I don't know why I'm thinking 'bout the ending

It's not like anything you've said is any little thread of doubt

I guess I'm just scared you're a master at pretending

'Cause it only takes a day to turn the cheek away and leave me on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, and I've been here before

Held on to the words that didn't mean nothing

So, if you're gonna open that door

Just know I'm staying up late in bed, wondering

[Chorus]

Will it be T-shirts or candles or birthdays?

Can we agree not to listen to Lennon?

'Cause then I can't play back yesterday

And maybe I'm making too much out of a good thing

Oh, but if you leave me in ruins (Ruins)

Could you not ruin those things for me?

[Bridge]

No, I don't want us to have a song

'Cause, baby, then our song is gonna be one more thing to lose

And, if I tell the truth

I couldn't take it, no, I couldn't take it

So, let's not go out to that restaurant

The one where we both stopped and said, "Oh, my God, well, this looks cute!"

I won't go there with you

[Outro]

'Cause, if it's T-shirts or candles or birthdays

Maybe we're doomed from the start if I'm tearing apart all the ways we're gonna break

I'm definitely making too much out of a good thing

Oh, but if you leave me in ruins (Ruins)

You're gonna leave me in ruins (Ruins)

But could you not ruin those things for me?
