Woorden: Melissa Etheridge. Yes I Am. 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
