Don't try to call

There are some bridges that burn

Beyond recognition beyond repair

Don't say you've changed

There are some forces that turn

Beyond recollection beyond my stare

When I feel the cold in the dark

I know you're there



Long ago I was a woman in pain

A woman in need

I ran to you

Long ago I did not understand

You were making me bleed

I ran to you

When I feel the cold in the dark

I know what you do



[CHORUS]



I will crawl through my past

Over stones blood and glass

In the ruins

Reaching under the fence

As I try to make sense

In the ruins



I know your heart has held its own fear

It's perfectly clear

What they did to you

In my heart it's the screaming I hear

I won't let them come near

Since my love knew you

When I feel the cold in the dark

I remember you



[CHORUS]



Night after night

I am carving it out



I will carry it down to the waterside

Night after night

I am hearing the sound

Of wings that come beating

I will not hide

When I feel the cold in the dark

I will know why



[CHORUS]



But if I am to heal

I must first learn to feel

In the ruins

I will crawl
