Beautiful Ruin

I been fuckin up
Looking back on the ways
You used to love me
The you I used to know, she
Fell from grace into her grave
Forever close her eyes
You want dust and wreckage
And I want compromise so
I put a little more space
Between me and you
Another one or two inches
I could take a few feet
Six would probably do
I become a new person
You'll never know
And so do you

I just wanted you to hold me
I didn't mean to need you
Or fall into your love
Our beautiful ruins
When we both erupt
Though the settling dust
The warmth of your blood
The future for us, in ruins

Build another pillar
While I watch you wither
It's never enough
To have and to hold
Your heart and you soul
If just for a moment

Fill the walls with tinder
And burn it to cinders
The moment I broke
From fire to ashes
To die in the smoke

Sifting embers
Try not to remember
It's hard to forget
The kind of love that we need
Slowly grew to resentment
Just a rat at your feet
The love that I bargained with

Weeping with the willows
Etchings on my gravestone
Memories you left
I wish I didn't wanna know
Did you built another home
Are you really happy now?
And why is it not with me?

Build another pillar
While I watch you wither
It's never enough
To have and to hold
Your heart and you soul
If just for a moment

Fill the walls with tinder
We burn up like sinners
The moment I broke
From fire to ashes
To die in the smoke
