Текст Glen Hansard — My Little Ruin

Come on, my little ruin
Won’t you open up and let us in?
Time has not been kind
But you’re still standing here
Leave a light on in your window
Won’t you let me see a sign?
It’s gonna take more than smoke and mirrors
Now for me this time

Come on, my little sorrow
Won’t you sing yourself a different song?
The melody that I made you is now a worn out sing-along
Everybody is looking at you
But I can’t stand to watch
And I’ve seen this scene come and go too much

And oh, how you struggle through the hours
With your sorrow leading the way
And as you stood there among the cowards
You were letting them win
But I’m not gonna stand aside
And watch them tear you up
No I’m not
Because you’re better than they are
And I can’t say it enough
That’s enough

What are you doing?

Come on my little ruin
Won’t you build yourself back up again?
Won’t you take the time you were given
You promised it to yourself

You could stand among the best of them
If you could hold your own
But no one’s gonna do it for you now
But you and you alone

And oh, how you struggle with your power
And keep your back tight to the wall
And as you were counted among the cowards
They didn’t see you at all
Now you’re caught on a rising wave
And I can’t get you off
But I’m not gonna stand aside
And watch them tear you up
No I’m not

Because you’re better than they are
You’re better than they are
You’re better than they are
You’re better than they are
You’re better than they are
And I can’t say it enough
That’s enough

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

Come on, my little ruin
Won’t you tell me where the feeling’s gone?
There’s nothing lost between us
You can come back anytime you want
