My Little Ruin

Intro: Do do do doooo Come on my little ruin won’t you open up and let us in? Time has not been kind but you're still standing here Leave a light on in your window, won’t you let me see a sign? It’s gonna take more than smoke and mirrors now for me this time Come on, my little sorrow, won’t you sing yourself a different song? The melody that made you is now a worn-out sing-along Everybody’s looking at you, but I can’t stand to watch I’ve seen this scene come and go too much And oh, how you struggle through the hours, way-yeah-eah your sorrow leading the way, hay-yeah-eah And as you stood there among the cowards... you were letting them win But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up no I’m not, cause you're better than they are and I can’t say it enough... that’s enough "what are you doing?" Come on my little ruin won’t you build yourself back up again? Won’t you take the time you were given, you promised it to yourself You could stand among the best of them if you could hold your own But no-one's gonna do it for you now, but you and you alone And oh, how you struggle with your power, way-yeah-eah And keep your back tight to the wall, hay-yeah-eah And as you were counted among the cowards ...they didn’t see you at all Now you're caught on a rising wave, and I can’t get you off But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up No, I’m not, cause you're better than they are, you're better than they are You're better than they are, you're better than they are you're better than they are, and I can’t say it enough that’s enough "what are you do-------ing?" "what are you do-------ing?" Come on my little ruin won’t you tell me where the feeling’s gone? There's nothing lost between us, you can come back anytime you want
