You Ruined Us - ArlenaZara
A title carries a heavy
undeniable finality
You Ruined Us moves past the sadness and places the accountability exactly where it belongs
It is about acknowledging that a beautiful shared life was completely destroyed by one person's selfish choices
Here are the complete lyrics for You Ruined Us
I kept the words simple, raw, and direct
The structure gives a female vocalist the perfect pacing to start with a quiet, reflecting sorrow before building into a powerful, angry, and heartbreaking belt in the chorus for a three-minute emotional ballad
You and us
We used to be the couple everyone adored
Now our memories are scattered on the floor
You held my hand and promised me the moon
But the darkness came around way too soon
I look at the life that we built up so high
And watch it all fall down right from the sky
You ruined us
You tore it all down
You burned our beautiful castle to the ground
I gave you my heart and a love you could trust
But you turned our forever to ashes and dust
There is nothing left to save
Nothing to discuss
Because you ruined us
You thought you could hide all the secrets you kept
While I was just lying beside you and wept
You traded my loyalty for cheap little thrill
And left me here broken and perfectly still
You shattered the mirror and broke all the glass
And left me alone in the shadows that passed
How do you live with the choices you made
Watching the best thing you ever had fade
You can't put the pieces back how they were before
I'm leaving my ring on the table by the door
Cause you ruined us
You tore it all down
You burned our beautiful castle to the ground
I gave you my heart and a love you could trust
But you turned our forever to ashes and dust
There is nothing left to save
Nothing to discuss
Because you ruined us
You ruined it all
There is no going back
The screen is fading to black
I am finally walking away
You ruined us
