Ruins Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

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

    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

    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
