[Verse]
We used to laugh 'til the stars got tired,
Chasing dreams, hearts on fire.
But now the silence fills the air,
Like empty chairs that once had care.
[Chorus]
Let me in the dust, that’s where I’ll stay,
Don’t need friends who walk away.
I don’t miss the cold disguise,
Or being ignored behind your eyes.
[Verse 2]
The porch light flickers, but I won’t knock,
Your shadow’s gone, it’s just the clock.
Memories hang like faded clothes,
A threadbare heart, but no one knows.
[Prechorus]
I held on tight, but the rope was frayed,
Sometimes it’s best to let it fade.
[Chorus]
Let me in the dust, that’s where I’ll stay,
Don’t need friends who walk away.
I don’t miss the cold disguise,
Or being ignored behind your eyes.
[Bridge]
The wind whispers secrets through the pine,
I’ve got my peace, I’ve got my time.
No more waiting for what ain’t there,
Freedom’s sweet, I’ll breathe the air.
