Ruin lyrics

My thick skin is slowly peeling You can almost see my soul How can I expect to heal You have left me so exposed Torn because I need you Worn down 'cause I can't free you I, I'm in the depth of your despair I, I fear your empty stare Don't deny 'cause you know that when I'm gone Ruin is the road you'll be on The simple times have all been taken Replaced by bitterness and shame You keep shaken' you're achin' and breaking down Will it ever be the same Now I know you need me Why am I at your mercy I can't stop you What else can I do
