Beauty in the Ruin

Running from you
was something i was so good at
I pulled away each time
that you got close
but chasing after me
you were just so much better at
before i knew it
you caught up with me
you took me my by surprise
I never thought that I would find
somebody just like you
who could move me like you do
and I was swept away
how everything just fell in place
You had me by the soul
and would not let me go

And I've never wanted anyone
like the way that I wanted you
and I've never needed anyone
like the way that i needed you

You found in me
everything you did not need
you hoped for someone
who had so much more
u worried bout my past
and knew that u should turn and run
but then u found yourself attached to me
i know u tried so hard
just to not let yourself fall
but sometimes u just cant choose
who your heart will choose for u
but the chemistry it freed us
as the passion burned between us
on those summer nights of love
we could not get enough

And I swear I've never fell so hard
like the way I fell for you
and I swear u took my breath away
when you turned your back
and walked away

But theres something bout this ruin
that I find so beautiful
I find peace when Im in
pieces on the floor
its so familiar when I'm
breaking down inside
when its all that you have ever known
the lonliness it just becomes your home
and I guess there's comfort
in sadness after all

And now
running from me
you have gotten so good at
you pulled away the moment I got close
and chasing after you
I just dont have the strength to do
I lost it all the moment I lost you
time can move so slow
when you find yourself alone
the walls they talk to you
and your mind plays tricks on you
as tears replace the laughter
I hope you find what you are after
it was not here with me
though I fought so hard to keep you

But now all I'm fighting for
is not to miss you anymore
but its a fight I just cant win
I've lost the will to even try

But theres something bout this ruin
that I find so beautiful
I find peace
when Im in pieces on the floor
its so familiar when I'm
breaking down inside
when its all that you have ever known
the lonliness it just becomes your home
and I guess there's comfort
in sadness after all
