Love to dust

Verse 1

I gave you my nights, gave you my trust,

You swore I was safe, said forever was us.

But whispers got louder when I wasn’t around,

You built your escape while I held my ground.

I read your lies in the back of your eyes,

Every promise cracked, every truth in disguise.

You said I was home, then you packed up and ran,

Left me here bleeding, still reaching your hand.

Pre-Chorus

Funny how love turns cold overnight,

You flipped the switch, left me stuck in the fight.

Chorus

You left me in the dust, choking on your goodbye,

While you drove off clean, didn’t even ask why.

I was all in, you were halfway gone,

Now I’m picking up pieces of what we were on.

You said “forever,” then you turned and ran,

Left me in the dust — guess that was the plan.

Verse 2

I replay your words like a broken track,

All the “I love yous” that you never meant back.

You wore my heart like it was just a phase,

Then tossed it aside for an easier face.

I stayed too long, tried to fix your scars,

While you were already counting new stars.

Guess I loved deeper than you ever could,

I held on tight — you never would.

Pre-Chorus

Now silence screams louder than your lies,

I see the truth when I close my eyes.

Chorus

You left me in the dust, choking on your goodbye,

While you drove off clean, didn’t even ask why.

I was all in, you were halfway gone,

Now I’m picking up pieces of what we were on.

You said “forever,” then you turned and ran,

Left me in the dust — guess that was the plan.

Bridge

One day you’ll feel it, the weight of your choice,

When the quiet hits harder than the sound of my voice.

I won’t be waiting, I’m done being torn,

I’ll rise from the ashes of the love you burned.

Final Chorus

You left me in the dust, but I’m breathing again,

Turned all this pain into power within.

You lost something real, I lost someone fake,

I’ll shine from the damage you couldn’t take.

You thought I’d break, but I learned to trust

That I’m more than the one you left in the dust.
