Ruins- Original Song by Emily Hall
Ruins Music and Lyrics by Emily Hall
I live in the ruins of our love
it’s cold since the walls were all torn down
and there’s no escape from the wild attacks
that ravage my heart in the pitch black
I live in the ruins of our love our love
I wake to an empty space and a full mind
there’s no peace from that wars that rage inside
and I can’t walk away though you let me go
though you knocked me down with one swift blow
I live in the ruins of our love
and I wait for the darkness to subside
haunted by the pain to which I’m tied
relentless misery is the root of me
lord what can I do give me liberty
free me from the ruins of this love
Sometimes love isn’t all that it seems
it rips out your heart and tears the seams
then leaves you for dead and throws you out to sea
but then it brings you back around with the tide
leaves you cold and all alone with nowhere left to hide
‘Cause I live in the ruins of our love
in this minefield of bittersweet mistrust
and now the smoke has cleared and everyone can tell
I’m just a broken soul inside a human shell
left in the ruins of our love our love
