Melissa Etheridge Lyrics

"Ruins" lyrics


(M. Etheridge) 

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
