Ruins

Well Heaven knows how hard I’ve tried
To hold you close while you cast me aside
It’s the month of October and nothin' has changed
You’re still hungover with that look on your face
And it’s a long way down, ain’t that what you say?
And the only way we’re ever gonna get up
Is if we smile like we don’t really care
What’s lost along the way
You say that you can’t see the light
And I pray that you make up your mind
Won’t you stop what you’re doin' and build me a shrine?
Or will you leave me in ruins like you did last time?
Kiss me twice and the windows shake
I’m weary-eyed and you’re always runnin' late
Don’t leave me lying here in this rubble and dust
All alone and crying, trying to crawl back up
And it’s a long way down, ain’t that what you say?
And the only way we’re ever gonna get up
Is if we smile like we don’t really care
What’s lost along the way
You say that you can’t see the light
And I pray that you make up your mind
Won’t you stop what you’re doin' and build me a shrine?
Or will you leave me in ruins like you did last time?
Won’t you stop what you’re doin' and build me a shrine?
Or will you leave me in ruins like you did last time?
Leave me in ruins like you did last time?
