🖤✨ 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.

i do not want to fight this anymore
i just want to lay back and watch you pin me to the bed
i used to call you my best friend way back before you were my everything
now i’m sucking your neck

and you wrote my favorite song
now i’m fucked up and carrying on
i do not know the words to it yet, oh

and it hits me 
i don’t want anybody else touching you like i do 
like i do
like me
is it ok?
that i don’t want anybody else touching you like i do
like i do
like me

yeah

tell me that nobody else touches you like i do, like i do
oh tell me that nobody else touches you like me
tell me that nobody else touches you like i do, like i do
oh tell me that nobody else touches you like me

you’re pulling on my habit lines
the more i smoke the more i find
i can’t just fall asleep instead
and you’re not my protector i hope you know it wasn’t her
that kept me off your side of the bed, oh 

and it hits me 
i don’t want anybody else touching you like i do 
like i do
like me
is it ok?
that i don’t want anybody else touching you like i do
like i do
like me

you’re in his living room
and it may not mean much you
but your plates are in his sink
and your sweater’s on his bed
won’t you text me when you’re home
my baby, spare me all the rest

please just tell me that nobody else touches you like i do
oh tell me that nobody else touches you like me

and it hits me 
i don’t want anybody else touching you like i do 
like i do
like me
is it ok?
that i don’t want anybody else touching you like i do
like i do
like me
