Something Corporate – Ruthless Lyrics 21 years ago
"This is the only lonely picture
Waiting on my floor
Littering my shore"

He is at home remembering her

"This is the last true burning letter
Given to a girl
Written by a boy
Living in a world created to destroy"

She is at home forgetting him

"But if I built you a city,
Would you let me?
Would you tear it down?"

He is willing to do anything for her, but would like to know if it will be in vain or not, and he wants to know if she hates him so much that she would let him do it first before she lets him know it was pointless

"But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
That I could still be ruthless if you let me"

I think it’s saying that he was too nice while in the relationship, and now he knows that he needed to be more callous. I think the rest of the song is him progressively getting more and more angry then finally becoming 'ruthless'

"Forget me
Forget me
Forget me, yeah

I'll raise towers and climb them
Rivers and walk them
Oceans to drown in
You won't make a sound in"

Once he realized that her intentions are to forget him he gets angry and says that he will go out of his way to find her and make her feel as horrible as he does.
