Ruin

[Verse 1]
Wish I had brakes for when I start falling
I'm a kid who got her wheels, still learning how to just slow down
And you were a year younger at the same college
Well, maybe it's the way you act above your age that takes me there somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I've been here before
Feel the rush, that's how you know it's over
So, if you're gonna open that door
Just know I'm staying up late in bed, wondering

[Chorus]
Will it be T-shirts or candles or birthdays?
Can we agree not to listen to Lennon?
'Cause then I can't play back "Yesterday"
And maybe I'm making too much out of a good thing
Oh, but if you leave me in ruins (Ruins)
Could you not ruin those things for me?

[Post-Chorus]
Do, do-do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do

[Verse 2]
And I don't know why I'm thinking 'bout the ending
It's not like anything you've said is any little thread of doubt
I guess I'm just scared you're a master at pretending
'Cause it only takes a day to turn the cheek away and leave me on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I've been here before
Held on to the words that didn't mean nothing
So, if you're gonna open that door
Just know I'm staying up late in bed, wondering

[Chorus]
Will it be T-shirts or candles or birthdays?
Can we agree not to listen to Lennon?
'Cause then I can't play back yesterday
And maybe I'm making too much out of a good thing
Oh, but if you leave me in ruins (Ruins)
Could you not ruin those things for me?

[Bridge]
No, I don't want us to have a song
'Cause, baby, then our song is gonna be one more thing to lose
And, if I tell the truth
I couldn't take it, no, I couldn't take it
So, let's not go out to that restaurant
The one where we both stopped and said, "Oh, my God, well, this looks cute!"
I won't go there with you

[Outro]
'Cause, if it's T-shirts or candles or birthdays
Maybe we're doomed from the start if I'm tearing apart all the ways we're gonna break
I'm definitely making too much out of a good thing
Oh, but if you leave me in ruins (Ruins)
You're gonna leave me in ruins (Ruins)
But could you not ruin those things for me?
