Ruins Lyrics - Yes I Am - Melissa Etheridge

Don't try to call 

There are some bridges that burn 

Beyond recognition beyond repair 

Don't say you've changed 

There are some forces that turn 

Beyond recollection beyond my stare 

When I feel the cold in the dark 

I know you're there 

Long ago I was a woman in pain 

A woman in need 

I ran to you 

Long ago I did not understand 

You were making me bleed 

I ran to you 

When I feel the cold in the dark 

I know what you do

[CHORUS] 

I will crawl through my past 

Over stones blood and glass 

In the ruins 

Reaching under the fence 

As I try to make sense 

In the ruins 

I know your heart has held its own fear 

It's perfectly clear 

What they did to you 

In my heart it's the screaming I hear 

I won't let them come near 

Since my love knew you 

When I feel the cold in the dark 

I remember you 

[CHORUS]

Night after night 

I am carving it out 

I will carry it down to the waterside 

Night after night 

I am hearing the sound 

Of wings that come beating 

I will not hide 

When I feel the cold in the dark 

I will know why 

[CHORUS] 

But if I am to heal 

I must first learn to feel 

In the ruins 

I will crawl
