Living in the Ruins est une chanson en Anglais
(Verse 1)
I’m standing in the ruins of what I’ve done,
All the battles lost, the wars I won.
I thought there’d be a way to rebuild the past,
But now I know, some things don’t last.
I see the wreckage in every tear,
Every word unspoken, every fear.
I’ve made my bed, and I’ll lie alone,
These are the seeds I’ve always sown.
(Pre-Chorus)
There’s no redemption in the life I led,
No going back to the words I said.
I thought I could outrun the storm,
But now I live with what I’ve torn.
(Chorus)
I’m living with the ruins, the pieces on the ground,
The broken dreams that I can’t turn around.
I built these walls, I burned the bridge,
Now I’m staring at the life I couldn’t fix.
I thought I’d find a way to heal,
But now I’m left with what’s too real.
I’m living with the ruins, and the damage I’ve done,
The cost of the battles I thought I’d won.
(Verse 2)
Two kids asleep, asking for more,
But I’m locked behind my own closed door.
I thought I could break free, make a new start,
But I’m bound by the chains I built in my heart.
I used to think there’d be some grace,
But now I’m just a ghost in my own place.
I wanted the world, but lost my way,
Now I’m living with the price I pay.
(Pre-Chorus)
The truth is heavy, and it won’t let go,
It’s the weight I carry, the things I know.
I thought I’d leave it all behind,
But the past has a way of staying in my mind.
(Chorus)
I’m living with the ruins, the pieces on the ground,
The broken dreams that I can’t turn around.
I built these walls, I burned the bridge,
Now I’m staring at the life I couldn’t fix.
I thought I’d find a way to heal,
But now I’m left with what’s too real.
I’m living with the ruins, and the damage I’ve done,
The cost of the battles I thought I’d won.
(Bridge)
We think we can rebuild, but the cracks run deep,
And the ghosts of our choices never sleep.
I thought I’d rise from what I broke,
But now I live in the ashes and smoke.
(Chorus)
I’m living with the ruins, the pieces on the ground,
The broken dreams that I can’t turn around.
I built these walls, I burned the bridge,
Now I’m staring at the life I couldn’t fix.
I thought I’d find a way to heal,
But now I’m left with what’s too real.
I’m living with the ruins, and the damage I’ve done,
The cost of the battles I thought I’d won.
(Outro)
And now I stand here, alone in the dust,
Living with the ruins, with nothing left to trust.
