Ruthless

This is the only lonely picture

Waiting on my floor, littering my shore

This is the last true burning letter

Given to a girl, written by a boy

Living in a world created to destroy

But if I built you a city, would you let me?

Would you tear it down?

But there you go for the last time

I finally know now what I should've known then

And I could still be ruthless if you let me

But there you go when I'm not done

You're waving goodbye, well, at least you're having fun

The rising tide will not let you forget me

Forget me

This is your ghost that kneels before me

Praises on her tongue, a body full of oxygen

It won't be the last time she'll ignore me

The thinning of my skin without the strength to go

The winter's setting in to cover you in snow

But if I built you a city, would you let me?

Would you tear it down?

But there you go for the last time

I finally know now what I should've known then

And I could still be ruthless if you let me

But there you go when I'm not done

You're waving goodbye, well, at least you're having fun

The rising tide will not let you forget me

Forget me, forget me

Forget me, forget me, yeah

And I'll raise towers and climb them

Rivers and walk them

Oceans to drown in

You won't make a sound in

But there you go for the last time

I finally know now what I should've known then

And I could still be ruthless if you let me

But there you go when I'm not done

You're waving goodbye, well, at least you're having fun

The rising tide will not let you forget me

Forget me
