Settling dust

As I spend this time with loneliness

I can’t help but wonder what happened

I guess we loved but couldn’t get it right

The wrong words, wrong turns, keep me up at night

When it started it felt so right, so innocent

Sometimes life took a bite, we took the medicine

But at some point our tolerance grew

Now I’m living a life without you

Now in the calm nights and settling dust

I start to think about what happened to us

Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart

Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart

As I spend this time with loneliness

I hear the echos of every fight

Like a haunted room, a ghost in plain sight

The wrong words, wrong turns, keep me up at night

When it started it felt so right, so innocent

Sometimes life took a bite, we took the medicine

But at some point our tolerance grew

Now I’m living a life without you

Now in the calm nights and settling dust

I start to think about what happened to us

Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart

Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart

Now in the calm nights and settling dust

I start to think about what happened to us

Misguidance and influence drove us apart

Gained the shame, pushed the blame, and lost the heart

As I spend time with loneliness

I feel the cold that you left with me

These hollow feelings, low level ceilings

I’m healing, revealing, I’m through with kneeling

We could’ve been better (better)

At restraining ourselves

From destroying the shelves

That held everything we had

Our life sits on the floor

Every picture is torn

Blood from a roses thorn

Drips all over the remnants

Now in the calm nights and settling dust

I start to think about what happened to us

Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart

Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart

Now in the calm nights and settling dust

I start to think about what happened to us

Misguidance and influence drove us apart

Gained the shame, pushed the blame, and lost the heart

Now in the calm nights and settling dust

I start to think about what happened to us

Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart

Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart
