MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics : "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
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
