Ruins

We built this city brick by brick
It's kind of funny, isn't it?
How we almost had it all?
We worked our fingers to the bone
We made a castle of our own
But then we watched this kingdom fall

It's the crying that reminds us we're alive
It's the cracks that let the light in sometimes
But I can see the diamonds in the dust
There's beauty in the ruins of us

And darling, that's just how it goes
It's one door opened, one door closed
It's nothing tragic in the end
So go ahead and say goodbye
'Cause there's an empire in my mind
And I can build it all again

It's the crying that reminds us we're alive
It's the cracks that let the light in sometimes
I can see the diamonds in the dust
There's beauty in the ruins of us

And maybe life is what you make it
You know this heart can take the flames
But just remember once you break it
It won't ever be the same

It's the crying that reminds us we're alive
It's the cracks that let the light in sometimes
I can see the diamonds in the dust
There's beauty in the ruins of us
