Chords Lyrics by The Amazing Devil

Ruin

2021

[Verse 1: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland, Both]
Remember (What?) today you are loved
They're still so small
Think back to days in hidden caves
I gave them everything
They'd paint your eyes with sunsets (My saints, my sighs, my upsets, and the days I couldn't cope)
And the waves
Oh the waves

[Verse 2: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland, Both]
Remember (I forgot to pack them lunches) they are safe
(I need a drink) Think back (Or two) to paddling pools and rainy days where they would
They'd harmonise with echoes (With charcoal eyes, stilettos, thеy're not ready) Nor are you
But thе waves
Oh the waves

[Pre-Chorus: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland, Both]
Oh
I don't want them to go
Oh
Just tell them what your haggard mother told you long ago

[Chorus: Both]
Pick your chords well loves
But sing your notes off key
You can't rehearse the chorus
But the verse is sweet
And if your voice begins to crack
If you ever feel alone
They might laugh because you're leaving
But know we'll sing your name when you come home

[Verse 3: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland]
Remember (I) today (Know they think I'm a nightmare) hey we did our best (I guessed)
Come paddle by the (pushed them) shore (pushed them all)
You are your own magician, let the ocean give to you (And by my own admission, had no notion what to do)
Its waves, (Ah bollocks to your waves) Oh the waves

[Verse 4: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland, Both]
Remember (Please) today (Don't do this) you're enough (My heart is breaking)
Know they love you (But I raged) you tried (So much) you did but so did they
We built our castles just to watch them wash away (They are my rascals I can't let them walk away)
In the waves (Hold my hand), oh the waves


[Pre-Chorus: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland, Both]
Oh
I need them to stay
Oh
Just remember those wicked words your mother used to say

[Chorus: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland, Both]
Pick your chords well loves
But sing your notes off key
You dad will forget the words
And fucking bastard what is it?
And if your voice begins to crack
And you ever feel alone
They might laugh because you're leaving
But know we'll sing your name when you come home

[Chorus: Both]
Walk into your waves my loves
Tell them all your names
Go tell them how we failed you
And gift to us all your blame
'Cause we'll be all that you hate about yourself
So you can grow
'Cause life begins by leaving
And our love is shown in the letting go
Go walk into your dawn you snotrags
Tell them that we never cared
Go tell them how we fucked you up
And oh my god it's so unfair
We were the winter nights
So you could be the morning snow
Your life begins by leaving
And our love is shown
In the letting go

[Outro: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland, Both]
Be good (Be good)
Be safe (Be safe)
Be kind (Be kind)
And know we'll always love you
Even though you're leaving us behind
Be good (Be good)
Be safe (Be safe)
Be kind (Be kind)
And know we'll always love you
Even though you're leaving us behind
