Etheridge Melissa Ruins Lyrics

Ruins Lyrics

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
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
I know your heart has held its own fear
It's
perfectly clear
What they did to you
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]
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
if I am to heal
I must first learn to feel
In the ruins
I will crawl
