Beautiful Ruin

We built a home from broken pieces Painted over every scar

Told ourselves that if we stayed here We could forget who we

are

But every room remembers Everything we tried to hide

And every photograph is proof That something changed inside

Maybe we were never meant To keep the past intact

Maybe some things have to fall

Before we can rebuild them back

We’re a beautiful ruin Still standing in the rain

All the pieces that destroyed us Made us something else again

If this is what remains Then let it remain

I won’t call it wasted Just because it didn’t stay the same

I remember who I was Before the cracks appeared

I remember every promise Every word I couldn’t hear

I WON’T PRETEND THAT I’M THE SAME!

We’re a beautiful ruin Still standing in the rain

All the pieces that destroyed us Made us something else again

LET IT FALL!

LET IT BREAK!

LET THE OLD WORLD

GIVE

WAY!

We’re a beautiful ruin And I’m finally okay

With every scar reminding me

I survived another day

Not everything broken

Needs to be repaired.
