Ruins

We both tried our best
We gave our all
But every bridge we built is made to fall
It's gonna hurt like hell until we get past the end
It's gonna hit, not so long to start again
We'll be rising from the ruins
Burning from the wreckage
But now our hearts are broken
If we could just take a moment
We'll see the good in each other
Remember when we were lovers
We just need a little time
And soon we'll both be rising
Rising from the ruins
There's no going back
We froze this time
If we both look straight ahead
Then we'll make out alive
Can't fool ourselves, saying where we could have been
Oh we're lost right now, but we'll find ourselves again
We'll be rising from the ruins
Burning from the wreckage
But now our hearts are broken
If we could just take a moment
We'll see the good in each other
Remember when we were lovers
We just need a little time
And soon we'll both be rising
Rising from the ruins
We're both gonna rise up
We're both gonna rise up
We're both gonna rise up
We're both gonna rise up
We're both gonna rise up
We're both gonna rise up
We're both gonna rise up
Hiiiiigh
Rising from the ruins
Burning from the wreckage
But now our hearts are broken
If we could just take a moment
We'll see the good in each other
Remember when we were lovers
We just need a little time
And soon we'll both be rising
Rising from the ruins
We both tried our best
We gave our all
