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 And I can't say it enough That's enough 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
