Lyrics
0:20Don't try to call
0:23There are some bridges that burn
0:26Beyond recognition
0:28Beyond repair
0:30Don't say you've changed
0:33There are some forces that turn
0:36Beyond recollection beyond my stare
0:41When I feel the cold in the dark
0:46I know you're there
0:51Long ago
0:53I was a woman in pain
0:57A woman in need
0:59I ran to you
1:01Long ago
1:04I did not understand
1:07You were making me bleed
1:09I ran to you
1:12When I feel the cold in the dark
1:16I know what you do
1:22I will crawl through my past
1:25Over stones blood and glass
1:27In the ruins
1:32Reaching under the fence
1:35As I try to make sense
1:37In the ruins
1:52I know your heart
1:56Has held its own fear
1:58It's perfectly clear
2:00What they did to you
2:03But in my heart
2:06It's the screaming I hear
2:08I won't let them come near
2:11Since my love knew you
2:14When I feel the cold in the dark
2:18I remember you
2:23I will crawl through my past
2:26Over stones blood and glass
2:29In the ruins
2:33Reaching under the fence
2:37As I try to make sense
2:39In the ruins
2:54Night after night
2:56I am carving it out
2:59I will carry it down
3:02To the waterside
3:04Night after night
3:06I am hearing the sound
3:10Of wings that come beating
3:13I will not hide
3:15When I feel the cold in the dark
3:19I will know why
3:24But I will crawl through my past
3:28Over stones blood and glass
3:30In the ruins
3:35Reaching under the fence
3:38As I try to make sense
3:41In the ruins
3:46But if I am to heal
3:48I must first learn to feel
3:51In the ruins
3:55I will crawl
3:58I will crawl
4:01I will crawl
4:02Oh oh oh oh
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 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 But 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 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 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 But 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 But if I am to heal I must first learn to feel In the ruins I will crawl I will crawl I will crawl Oh oh oh oh
