Lyrics of 'Ruins' by Claire Richards

RuinsClaire Richards

All my friends said you're no good
You let me down just like they knew you would
But you put these stars in my eyes
I won't apologize for you no more
We shed a battle and we've lost this war
But if I could save you, I'd try

'Cause I just can't watch you get deeper
If you're going down, I'll go with ya
Do it to myself, I do it to myself

So shame on me
I guess it's my fault for wanting so hard to believe
That something so dangerous could be beautiful underneath
I couldn't see the damage you were doing
When we were lying in the ruins
So shame on me

It's in my breath, in mocha teeth
The joke's on me just like it's always been
'Cause I take you back every time and I know
I should take my own advice
I've been a fool since you fooled me twice
More than a million lies

But hiding it just makes it harder
The fading lights run my mascara
Do it to myself, I do it to myself

So shame on me
I guess it's my fault for wanting so hard to believe
That something so dangerous could be beautiful underneath
I couldn't see the damage you were doing
When we were lying in the ruins
So shame on me

I'm tired of being reckless
And caught up in the wreckage of us
Oh, sick of being wasted
I'm sick and now you're wasting my love

So shame on me
I guess it's my fault for wanting so hard to believe
That something so dangerous could be beautiful underneath
I couldn't see the damage you were doing
When we were lying in the ruins
So shame on me
I guess it's my fault for wanting so hard to believe
That something so dangerous could be beautiful underneath
I couldn't see the damage you were doing
When we were lying in the ruins
So shame on me
