You Ruined This
The Audition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't, I won't, I won't let you lie to me
Never felt so alone, it's funny how things go
Guess we'll never know
I took you back tonight
Hoping that you weren't the same
This won't ever feel right
I took you back tonight
Hoping that you weren't the same
I'll give it up tonight
Don't tell me that you ruined this
'Cause you're scared
Now I know that you're full of it, woah, woah
For every minute you wasted
I will tear all apart what is left of this, woah, woah
'Cause baby, you ruined this
So stop and think, will you ever be happy?
No, you won't, there is just no fooling me
Never felt so alone, it's funny how things go
Guess we'll never know
I took you back tonight
Hoping that you weren't the same
This won't ever feel right
Can't believe a word that you say
I took you back tonight
Hoping that you weren't the same
And I'll give it up tonight
Don't tell me that you ruined this
'Cause you're scared
Now I know that you're full of it, woah, woah
For every minute you wasted
I will tear all apart what is left of this, woah, woah
Don't tell me that you ruined this
'Cause you're scared
Now I know that you're full of it, woah, woah
For every minute you wasted
I will tear all apart what is left of this, woah, woah
'Cause baby, you ruined this
And I took you back tonight
But this won't ever, ever be right
I took you back tonight
Don't tell me that you ruined this
'Cause you're scared
Now I know that you're full of it, woah, woah
For every minute you wasted
I will tear all apart what is left of this, woah, woah
'Cause baby, I'm wounded
From the sin of your kiss, I'm so foolish
For all the years we wasted
You can stare in the dark at this nothingness
'Cause baby, you ruined this, baby, you ruined this
