Ruins Lyrics by Jade Bird

Jade Bird

2019

[Verse 1]
How do we have to do this again?
I'll tell you how I'm feelin'
And you're like a cryptomaniac
We try and connect the dots and the facts
How do we have to be here?
'Cause these hotels, I just can't relax
The more I bend, the worse that I snap
I feel like a goddamn maniac

[Pre-Chorus]
You sure you wanna do this now?

[Chorus]
'Cause I mean it when I say that
I don't understand
And I mean it when I say that
I'm not sure who I am

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause one minute I love you
And the next it's all in ruins
A minute thinkin' of you
And the next it's all in ruins

[Verse 2]
Tell me what did I do
To deserve somebody like you?
It's too hard to tell the truth
Nothing's real and nothing's new
I'm just a product of my emotions
And they're all settin' off again
If it's a mixture or a, a dosage
Then I need just what you're havin'

[Pre-Chorus]
You sure you wanna do this now?
Oh, you sure you wanna do this now?

[Chorus]
'Cause I mean it when I say that
I don't understand
And I mean it when I say that
I'm not sure who I am

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause one minute I love you
And the next it's all in ruins
A minute thinkin' of you
And the next my mind's in ruins

[Bridge]
Again
Here again
I can't let it out
And I can't let you in

[Chorus]
Yeah, I mean it when I say that
I don't understand
And I mean it when I say that
I'm not sure who I am
Yeah, I mean it when I say that
I don't understand
And I mean it when I say that
I'm not sure who I am

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause one minute I love you
And the next it's all in ruins
A minute thinkin' of you
And the next it's all in ruins
