Ruins from Mirror Mirror by Julia Rita

Standing in the mirror is a fool
The faulty one looking back at you
I see
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you alive
You’re still broken and hurting inside
I know

Well my, my Father told me girl
Protect your heart
Before it goes to far

But you’re
You’re running wild and running free
Tripping over things you see
You’re running in to dangerous arms
Blinded by the ecstasy
You’ve been broken you’ve been maimed
And you’re the only one to blame
So will you learn before the ruins is all that remains

Tamed by the bluest of skies
But claimed by the darkest of eyes
I see
And you’ll be sitting there in pieces as you
You’ll realize what you put yourself through
Oh I know, I know, I know that my

My father warned me girl
Protect your heart
Before it goes to far

But you’re
You’re running wild and running free
Tripping over things you see
You’re running in to dangerous arms
Blinded by the ecstasy
And you’ve been broken you’ve been maimed
And you’re the only one to blame
So will you learn before the ruins is all that remains

Maybe one day you’ll figure out
Maybe rain will stop this drought
Maybe then will the flowers sprout
And fix this place
And stop

Running wild and running free
Tripping over things you see
Running in to careless arms
Blinded by the ecstasy
And you’ve been broken you’ve been maimed
And you’re the only one to blame
So will you learn before the ruins is all that remains

Will you learn before the ruins is all that remains
