A heart-wrenching outlaw country ballad about lost love and the bitterness that lingers after heartbreak. 'Ruined by You' tells the story of a soul forever changed by a painful breakup, exploring themes of love, loss, and the struggle to open one's heart again.
Verse 1:
I gave you my heart, laid it all on the line,
Thought we were forever, thought you’d always be mine.
But you took it and shattered, like glass on the floor,
Now I’m just a ghost, you don’t love me no more.
Chorus:
Oh, she ruined me, left my soul in the dust,
Can't feel love again, it’s a haunted old rust.
With every sweet memory, I drink whiskey and cry,
When she walked out the door, she took my heart to die.
Verse 2:
We danced under stars, whispered dreams in the night,
Now those stars just remind me that love ain’t in sight.
The jukebox is playing our song on repeat,
But I drown in the sorrow, every note feels so sweet.
Chorus:
Oh, she ruined me, left my soul in the dust,
Can't feel love again, it’s a haunted old rust.
With every sweet memory, I drink whiskey and cry,
When she walked out the door, she took my heart to die.
Bridge:
So I sit on this barstool, with smoke in my lungs,
Each bottle I open just sings broken songs.
Maybe someday I’ll heal, find a way to forgive,
But until that day comes, this is how I live.
Chorus:
Oh, she ruined me, left my soul in the dust,
Can't feel love again, it’s a haunted old rust.
With every sweet memory, I drink whiskey and cry,
When she walked out the door, she took my heart to die.
Outro:
So here’s to the heartache, the scars that remain,
You’re the wreck of my love, girl, the ghost of my pain.
You ruined me, darlin’, now I’m forever alone,
In a world full of lovers, I’ll just turn to stone.
