Ruin It Lyrics

I've waited a long time
For this life
Just to ruin it
So please don't ruin this for me

Yes I understand this lie
Hell I crossed those T's I scratched out all these I's myself last night
When I promised not to fight

So this is what I'm looking like these days
I'm all grown up
So full of hate

But I don't wanna let go of my age
Cause it's the sounds
That brings the taste

So where am I to decide that I'm not right?
Inside my...

Breaking down my ***
Your heart strings out onto ***
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around

Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife?
Am I being too careful?
Does it seem right?
Did I open up the shades?
To expose the sun in rays?
To show what’s burned there inside

Yeah take a first look ****
Inside my...

Breaking down my ***
Your heart strings out onto ***
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around

I've waited for so long
I've waited for so long
Spread me out
Break me in
This scorched and rocky field will camouflage my skin
Inside my...

Breaking down my ***
Your heart strings out onto ***
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around
On my best day
You stick around

the correct lyrics for that one part of the song is "your heart strings out of tune again"

Cover art for Ruin It lyrics by Alkaline Trio

I've waited a long time for this life Just to ruin it, so please don't ruin this for me Yes to understand this lie Hell I crossed those t's I scratched out all these eyes, myself last night What I promise not to find

So this is what I'm looking like these days I'm all grown up, so full of hate But I don't wanna let go of my age Cause it's the salt, that brings the taste

So where am I to decide that I'm not right? Cause I might break and I might bend Your heart strings out of tune again And I might try to apologize One a good day On my best day If you stick around

Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife? Am I being to careful? Does this seem right? Did I open up the shades to expose this sunny rays? To show what burned this sight

Take a close look Hold me right up to the light Cause I might break and I might bend Your heart strings out of tune again And I might try to apologize One a good day On my best day If you stick around

I've waited for so long (I've waited for so long) Spread me out, rake me in This scorched and rocky field Will camouflage my skin

And I might break and I might bend Your heart strings out of tune again And I might try to apologize One a good day

On my best day If you stick around [2x]

yeaI Dans songs just keep on getting better it's awesome!

Cover art for Ruin It lyrics by Alkaline Trio

People spoke of In Vein of being reminicant of I Lied My Face Off...no this is the song that reminds me of early Dan. Though I Lied My Face Off is so much better, really this is prolly my least favorite Dan song.

This song is nothing like I Lied My Face Off. Dan is much more mature now than he was then, you can tell from his lyrics.

The only thing I can get from the first half of the song is, that maybe its about being ok with change and being ok with how you are when you grow up. Rather then try to fix yourself and change yourself for people.

"Take a close look. Hold me right up to the light" Maybe thats about people analyzing him and such. But once again, I might be the only one that sees that in this song.
