Ruin My Life

I set the stage for a star that never shined
Each dream I buried, with the ashes of my mind
You walked in like a storm, tearing down the walls
Now I'm braving tempests in these empty halls

You dug your claws so deep, left me gasping for air
A puppet on your strings, I lost my way in despair
With every whispered promise, you fanned the flames of doubt
You built my world of beauty, let the wrecking ball crash out

Ruin my life, go on, take your bow
Turn all this love into shadows somehow
I'll wear these scars like medals earned in war
You can bring it all down, I'm ready for more

The echoes of our laughter now haunt me in the night
What was once a beacon, now flickers out of sight
A tale of bitter sweetness, wrapped in a lover's guise
You left a trail of madness behind those pretty lies

Each tear is a river, flowing through my memory
You've carved my heart in stone, but it crumbles like the sea
So here's the final act, I'll let you take the blame
With every shattered piece, I'll remember your name

Ruin my life, go on, take your bow
Turn all this love into shadows somehow
I'll wear these scars like medals earned in war
You can bring it all down, I'm ready for more

I'll rise from these ruins, a phoenix in flames
Breathing in the ashes while freeing the chains
So go on and shatter what's left of my pride
In this cruel, twisted play, I won't run and hide

Ruin my life, go on, take your bow
Turn all this love into shadows somehow
I'll wear these scars like medals earned in war
You can bring it all down, I'm ready for more
