Ruin Me Lyrics by Exits

Exits

2015

[Verse 1]
You took the air out of my lungs
And locked it up as if it was something so forsaken
You took the words out of my mouth
And bent them 'round until it sounded as if I were in the wrong

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But, I drove down south for miles
Just to see your smile
Just to see your life
How it's better now
I drove south for miles
Just to let you go
I don't know how I missed being miserable
But, I know

[Chorus]
I know you think I did this to myself
But, you didn't have to ruin me for everybody else
I know you think I did this to myself
But, you didn't have to ruin me for everybody else

[Verse 2]
You took the ground under my feet
And I fell into a hell I never knew lived underneath
You left a dent under my sheets
From the nights we fumbled around forging forgetful memories

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Would you drive north for miles?
Just to crack my smile?
Just to see my life?
It's not better now
Would you drive north for miles?
Just to see me go?
Girl, I know you missed being miserable
But, I know

[Chorus]
I know you think I did this to myself
But, you didn't have to ruin me for everybody else
I know you think I did this to myself
But, you didn't have to ruin me for everybody else

[Bridge]
You're every thought inside my head
You're every drop I ever bled
You and me were such a mess
But, of the highest elegance
You're every thought inside my head
You're every drop I ever bled
You and me were such a mess
But, of the highest elegance

[Chorus]
I know you think I did this to myself
But, you didn't have to ruin me for everybody else
I know you think I did it to myself
But, you didn't have to ruin me for everybody else
