lyrics

By my side you were with me
But where did you go?
I didn’t see you ‘til after the show
Were you alone?
Did you just go home?
Is there something at play here that’s more untoward?
Your gaze can’t be captured
Perhaps ‘cause you’re bored
What can I do
To get through to you?

When the clouds are all grey
When you push me away
When you won’t see me or can’t hear what I say
I’ll follow you anywhere
It's sad but it's true
I’d ruin myself for you

Ruin, ruin, ruin
Ruin, ruin, ruin
Ruin, ruin, ruin
It's sad but true
I’d ruin myself

You didn’t come home last night
Don’t know where you stayed yesterday
Guess they’re ain’t no rest for the wicked
And none for those that get in their way
Now there’s no time left for solutions
This train’s reached its terminal stop
‘cept theres only one of us on it
Guess the other’s already got off

Now the clouds are all grey
When you push me away
When you won’t see me or can’t hear what I say
I’ll follow you anywhere
It sad but it's true
I’d ruin myself for you

Ruin, ruin, ruin
Ruin, ruin, ruin
Ruin, ruin, ruin

You won’t see me or can’t hear what I say
I’ll follow you anywhere
Anywhere
Its sad but its true

Ruin, ruin, ruin
Ruin, ruin, ruin
Ruin, ruin, ruin

You won’t see me or can’t hear what I say

Its sad but its true

I’d ruin myself for you
