Lyrics Bitter Ruin

Bitter Ruin

Beware

I snagged myself on your barbed defences

And my chainmail unravelled as if woven from wool

And so to lead by example I had to get out before I was trampled

So heed my warning and steer well clear

Beware, please beware

If you're gonna get involved with her then tread with care

'Cause that girl is trouble, take it from me

My flesh was scored by your thorny branches

Now the patch work I'm tailored from is ripped at the seams

And the thread-less warning flags waved as though the wind was mad

But I chose not to notice and got caught in your snare

Beware, please beware

If you're gonna get involved with him then tread with care

'Cause that guy is trouble, take it from me

And you've left your mark girl, a blot on my page

I would tippex you out but that only hides the pain

Well you've left your mark boy, you've bulldozed my walls

I could build them up brick by brick but they never stand quite as tall

Beware, please beware

If you're gonna get involved with her/him then tread with care

'Cause that girl/guy is trouble, take it from me

Beware/yeah

Beware/yeah

Beware/yeah

Beware

'Cause that girl/guy is trouble, take it from me
