Still Standing In The Ruins.

WHEN MY SOUL STARTS TO TREMBLE

When my soul starts to tremble and quake

When my heart starts to ache

I feel the cracks running deep in my chest

Like every promise you made just laid to rest

I try to stand but the ground gives way

Shaking like the truth you never say

And every whisper you left behind

Still echoes loud inside my mind

I reach for you but you’re not there

Just empty rooms and colder air

And I’m left holding what we used to be

A fading ghost of you and me

When my soul starts to tremble and quake

When my heart starts to ache

I fall apart in the silence you make

Breaking for the love you wouldn’t take

When my soul starts to tremble and quake

When my heart starts to ache

I’m still standing in the ruins we made

Trying to breathe through the aftershakes

You were the calm before the storm I feared

The sweetest lie I ever held near

And now the truth hits like a tidal wave

Pulling me under the love I gave

I trace the outline of what we were

A perfect dream that starts to blur

And every step I try to take

Feels like walking through the heartbreak quake

I reach for you but you’re not there

Just empty rooms and colder air

And I’m left holding what we used to be

A fading ghost of you and me

When my soul starts to tremble and quake

When my heart starts to ache

I fall apart in the silence you make

Breaking for the love you wouldn’t take

When my soul starts to tremble and quake

When my heart starts to ache

I’m still standing in the ruins we made

Trying to breathe through the aftershakes

Maybe someday the shaking will stop

Maybe someday the pieces will drop

Into a place where I can finally see

Why losing you set me free

But tonight the tremble’s all I feel

A quake that tells me what was real

And though the pain still resonates

I rise again through the heartbreak quakes

When my soul starts to tremble and quake

When my heart starts to ache

I fall apart in the silence you make

Breaking for the love you wouldn’t take

When my soul starts to tremble and quake

When my heart starts to ache

I’m still standing in the ruins we made

Learning to breathe through the aftershakes
