My Little Ruin

My Little Ruin (我的小废墟) - Glen Hansard (格伦·汉塞德)

Come on my little ruin won't you open up and let us in

Time has not been kind but you're still standing here

Leave a light on in your window won't you let me see a sign

It's gonna take more than smoke and mirrors now for me this time

Come on my little sorrow won't you sing yourself a different song

The melody that made you is now a worn-out sing-along

Every body's looking at you but I can't stand to watch

I've seen this scene come and go too much

And oh how you struggle through the hours

With your sorrow leading the way

And as you stood there among the cowards

You were letting them win

But I'm not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up

No I'm not

'Cause you're better than they are

And I can't say it enough

That's enough

What are you doing

Come on my little ruin won't you build yourself back up again

Won't you take the time you were given you promised it to yourself

You could stand among the best of them if you could hold your own

But no-one's gonna do it for you now but you and you alone

And oh how you struggle with your power

And keep your back tight to the wall

And as you were counted among the cowards

They didn't see you at all

Now you're caught on a rising wave and I can't get you off

But I'm not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up

No I'm not

'Cause you're better than they are

You're better than they are

You're better than they are

You're better than they are

You're better than they are

And I can't say it enough

That's enough

What are you doing

What are you doing

Come on my little ruin won't you tell me where the feeling's gone

There's nothing lost between us you can come back anytime you want
