Lyrics

My Ruin

[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]

Inside my shadow

I can hear you

Am I near you?

Inside my shadow

I can smell you

Can I tell you?

Inside my shadow

I can love you

Think I need you

Inside my shadow

I can feel you

I've erased you

[Pre-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon with Clint Lowery]

Am I real?

Am I real?

[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, Witherspoon & John Connolly]

(Save) my ruin and us

My world has turned to rust

(Save) my ruin and us

My world has turned to rust

[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon]

If there's tomorrow

Would you give me? Please forgive me, yeah

If there's tomorrow

You'd be buried and that just scares me

[Pre-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon with Clint Lowery]

Am I real?

Am I real?

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, Witherspoon & John Connolly]

(Save) my ruin and us

My world has turned to rust

(Save) my ruin and us

My world has turned to rust

[Refrain: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]

(Save)

My world, my world

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, Witherspoon & John Connolly]

(Save) my ruin and us

My world has turned to rust

(Save) my ruin and us

My world has turned to rust

[Outro: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]

(Save) my ruin

My world, my world
