Hansard, Glen - My Little Ruin Lyrics
Come on, my little ruin, won’t you open up and let us in?
Time has not been kind, but you're still standing here.
Leave a light on in your window, won’t you let me see a sign?
It’s gonna take more than smoke and mirrors now for me this time
The melody that made you is now a worn-out sing-along.
Every body’s looking at you, but I can’t stand to watch,
I’ve seen this scene come and go too much
And oh, how you struggle through the hours
With your sorrow leading the way,
And as you stood there among the cowards,
You were letting them win
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
No, I’m not,
'Cause you're better than they are,
And I can’t say it enough
That’s enough
What are you doing?
Come on, my little ruin, won’t you build yourself back up again?
Won’t you take the time you were given; you promised it to yourself.
You could stand among the best of them if you could hold your own,
But no-one's gonna do it for you now, but you and you alone
And oh, how you struggle with your power,
And keep your back tight to the wall,
And as you were counted among the cowards,
They didn’t see you at all
Now you're caught on a rising wave, and I can’t get you off,
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
No, I’m not,
'Cause you're better than they are,
You're better than they are,
You're better than they are,
You're better than they are,
And I can’t say it enough
That’s enough.
What are you doing?
Come on, my little ruin, won’t you tell me where the feeling’s gone?
There's nothing lost between us; you can come back anytime you want

You're right !!!!
A truly great song and gorgeous performance of it 👌🏻. #realmusicaltalentstillexists
Great Songwriter, great performer. Glen is my spirit animal!
Is she playing a violin or a viola?
Could you write something about other musicians in this clip? They should at least have a name.
a "please" never hurts but you're totally right, it was Glen's live band at the time and we forgot to credit them. It's done at the end of the credits now check it out and thanks for pointing this to us
This song makes me so emotional ! Its like a song i would sing to my soul, especially these lines
"And oh, how you struggle through the hours
With your sorrow leading the way,
And as you stood there among the cowards,
You were letting them win
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
No, I’m not,
'Cause you're better than they are,
And I can’t say it enough
That’s enough
What are you doing?"
Thank you for this comment
Şarkıyı söylerken yaşıyor yaşatıyor 😍 perfect 👌
Thank you !
what a cunt.
You have the right to don't like his music, but we don't like this kind of comment on our channel.
this song is so fantastic i recommended to see "once" if you dont .
Le Cargo still amazes me. They've been having the best alternative artists on their channel... from Nada Surf to Glen Hansard. Good job guys!
thank you, it's always about the artists but it means a lot when you guys have a word for us too :)
Потрясающе!!!
F*cking hell Glen!
Hell Yeah !!
Every now and then a troubadour steps out of the fog and lights up the whole music scene. Glen Hansard is one of them. He is the real deal. Even his newest songs feel like they have been kicking around the back of my mind for my whole life. Phenomenal stuff!
Thank you for this comment !
Every now and then a dude (or gal) with a great comment steps out of the fog and lights up the whole comment section
Come on, my little ruin, won’t you open up and let us in?
Time has not been kind, but you're still standing here.
Leave a light on in your window, won’t you let me see a sign?
It’s gonna take more than smoke and mirrors now for me this time
Come on, my little sorrow, won’t you sing yourself a different song?
The melody that made you is now a worn-out sing-along.
Every body’s looking at you, but I can’t stand to watch,
I’ve seen this scene come and go too much
And oh, how you struggle through the hours
With your sorrow leading the way,
And as you stood there among the cowards,
You were letting them win
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
No, I’m not,
'Cause you're better than they are,
And I can’t say it enough
That’s enough
What are you doing?
Come on, my little ruin, won’t you build yourself back up again?
Won’t you take the time you were given; you promised it to yourself.
You could stand among the best of them if you could hold your own,
But no-one's gonna do it for you now, but you and you alone
And oh, how you struggle with your power,
And keep your back tight to the wall,
And as you were counted among the cowards,
They didn’t see you at all
Now you're caught on a rising wave, and I can’t get you off,
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
No, I’m not,
'Cause you're better than they are,
You're better than they are,
You're better than they are,
You're better than they are,
And I can’t say it enough
That’s enough.
What are you doing?
Come on, my little ruin, won’t you tell me where the feeling’s gone?
There's nothing lost between us; you can come back anytime you want
Thank you for the lyrics. Thank you very much

You sound better and better every day. Suddenly, not my favorite songs hit my heart so strong when I hear it live
I saw Glen on the 30th of september for the third time in Belgium. The last time in Brussels just before La Cigale in Paris I had the time of my life. The feeling in his lyrics, the emotion in the music, it's all there needs to be at that moment. I play all of his old songs on performances and now Iearn all of his new songs too, you just never get tired of it! Thanks Glen for this wonderful music!!
This song is amazing. The best one of the new album, in my opinion.
+Raffa P. Rey Thank you for your comment....
This Song is very beautiful, great concert in Köln!
+Mic The Glen and his musicians are just amazing on stage :::
Awesome! Thank your so much! Glen, yo are the best.
+Alexey Usachev Thank you
