🖤✨ You Were The Ruin (Rework)
by The Miracle Syndicate

Footsteps fading into nothing,  
Falling back where you once stood.
Words unspoken choke the silence, 
Cut in dust and splintered wood.

I don’t speak your name, I bury 
Every sound before it breaks. 
Shadows crawl beneath the doorway, 
You were gone before you came.

You were the ruin, I was the ground, 
You let it crumble, never turned around. 
If you stayed, would it feel the same? 
Or was it lost before you came?

Love, love, love, this hopeless love, love, love.

Hands in pockets, cold in summer, 
Trains still hum a fractured tune. 
I pretend I never wonder, 
But the night still sings of you.
 
I don’t speak your name, I bury 
Every sound before it breaks. 
Shadows crawl beneath the doorway,
You were gone before you came.

You were the ruin, I was the ground, 
You let it crumble, never turned around. 
If you stayed, would it feel the same? 
Or was it lost before you came?

Love, love, love, this hopeless love, love, love

Stone and silence, steel and sighs,
Every ending feels like a lie.
Would you know me now, at all?
Or just the ghost against the wall?

Can you hear me now?

Love, love, love, this hopeless love, love, love.

Mmmm-hmmm.

You were the ruin, I was the ground, 
You let it crumble, never turned around.
No one stays, no one stays,
You were the ruin anyway.
