lyrics

Faded,
Autumn’s hollow light
is wasted
on December eyes.

Once you’ve tasted
the hatred
you’ll wish it was chased with
The vaguest and basest alibis.

Not this time.

Jaded
since you were seventeen
and it comes down
to a choice between:

A new page, or a slow fade,
well you can’t have it both ways,
but don’t say that you didn’t have the time

to decide.

You could have had it all,
You let it go to waste,
You could have had it all,
Ruiner.

Faded,
Autumn’s hollow light
is wasted
on December eyes.

It’s a new page, or a slow fade,
but you can’t have it both ways,
It’s too late for you to decide.

You’re out of time.

You could have had it all,
You let it go to waste,
You could have had it all,
Ruiner.

I used to be like you,
And see the things you’d do,
As the bitterness
Latches onto you.

But now I have a different view,
And I intend to see it through,
It won’t swallow me,
Like it swallowed you.

(You could have had it all,
You could have had it…)

You could have had it all,
You let it go to waste,
You could have had it all,
Ruiner.

So cup your dirty hands,
And try to catch the dust,
You could have had it all,
You could have had it all,
You could have had it all,

Ruiner.
