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
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
