Through and Through

The city lights were pretty, and they called out your name

So right into the light you flew like a moth drawn to a flame

The city promised riches, endless streams of gold

Fortune and fame were yours to claim, and it would only cost your soul

And I quit waiting for you, I knew you would not return

My heart extended to you was just another bridge you burned

And there’s no way to ever get back the way things used to be

I’m ruined through and through, now that I’ve lost you

You made your decision to chase your silver dream

To go full-mast and blow right past, engines running full-steam

To you I was an anchor, I would only weigh you down

I couldn’t make you stay, only pushed you away, and you never turned around

           

So I quit waiting for you, I knew you would not return

My heart extended to you was just another bridge you burned

And there’s no way to ever get back the way things used to be

I’m ruined through and through, now that I’ve lost you

And what good did it do you, I will never know

For I can’t get any answers from a dark, cold, gray headstone

And I may have quit waiting for you, but I hoped you would not return

But my heart extended to you was just another bridge you burned

And there’s no way to ever get back the way things used to be

I’m ruined through and through, now that I’ve lost you

I’m ruined – I’m ruined through and through
