Ruins

[Verse 1]

Don't try to call

There are some bridges that burn

Beyond recognition

Beyond repair

Don't say you've changed

There are some forces that turn

Beyond recollection

Beyond my stare

When I feel the cold in the dark

I know you're there

[Verse 2]

Long ago

I was a woman in pain

A woman in need

I ran to you

Long ago

I did not understand

You were making me bleed

I ran to you

When I feel the cold in the dark

I know what you do

[Chorus]

I will crawl through my past

Over stones, blood and glass

In the ruins

Reaching under the fence

As I try to make sense

In the ruins

[Verse 3]

I know your heart

Has held its own fear

It's perfectly clear

What they did to you

But in my heart

It's the screaming I hear

I won't let them come near

Since my love knew you

When I feel the cold in the dark

I remember you

[Chorus]

I will crawl through my past

Over stones, blood and glass

In the ruins

Reaching under the fence

As I try to make sense

In the ruins

[Verse 4]

Night after night

I am carving it out

I will carry it down

To the waterside

Night after night

I am hearing the sound

Of wings that come beating

I will not hide

When I feel the cold in the dark

I will know why

[Chorus]

But I will crawl through my past

Over stones, blood and glass

In the ruins

Reaching under the fence

As I try to make sense

In the ruins

But if I am to heal

I must first learn to feel

In the ruins

I will crawl

I will crawl

I will crawl (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
