Ruins

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



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

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



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



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



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, crawl
