Ruins

The bitter end, tired and tense
I wait for you, is it all for naught?
You turn away, I turn the page
There’s nothing here, there’s nothing left

Tell me what you said when I turned my head and looked away
From what I could not handle
No, I wasn’t ready then, but I’m ready now
Tell me once again now that we’re at the bitter end
And I’ll leave you and all your traces
Deep beneath the ground, we’re ruined now

The charred remains of something that once burned so bright
Beneath it all sometimes I still wish you’d stayed
Wishes on flames never did much good
I’d give it all to have understood

Tell me what you said when I turned my head and looked away
From what I could not handle
No, I wasn’t ready then, but I’m ready now
Tell me once again now that we’re at the bitter end
And I’ll leave you and all your traces
Deep beneath the ground, we’re ruined now
