Dust You Left Me In
Dust You Left Me In
Tossed me aside,
Called me a child
You think you know what love is,
But you're so ignorant
Don't tell me I'm the one who's naïve
You say that I'm young,
That I'll get over you,
But you're young too,
And you're convinced you know everything
But you don't know,
No you don't know how I do things
You've brought me to my knees and I
Keep trying to find the key to the
Only heart I'll ever need
But everything I can see
Is so close,
But so far of my reach
And the only thing left that I can touch
Here on the ground
Is the dust you left me in
Little boys think that we're just little toys for their enjoyment
But I'm no toy
I wasn't meant to be a fallen tower
Can't save myself,
I don't have the power
You keep building me up,
Keep knocking me down
And still somehow,
I always come running back to you
Stole my heart,
And you stole my crown
Sometimes things get lost,
And they can't be found
I didn't mean to love you
And I didn't mean to fall so hard
So watch me fall,
Once again,
Flat on my face
You've brought me to my knees and I
Keep trying to find the key to the
Only heart I'll ever need
But everything I can see
Is so close,
But so far of my reach
And the only thing left that I can touch
Here on the ground
Is the dust you left me in
Think you've seen it all
Counted me out
Before I hatched
If you'd give me a chance,
I'd give you everything you lack
Don't smile at me that way,
So I don't know what to say
You make my train of thought crash,
Come straight off the tracks
You've brought me to my knees and I
Keep trying to find the key to the
Only heart I'll ever need
But everything I can see
Is so close,
But so far of my reach
And the only thing left that I can touch
Here on the ground
Is the dust you left me in
Why did you have to be pretending?
I won't let this be the ending
Can't we just live out our own little fairytale?
I don't have to be the princess,
And you don't have to be my knight in shining armor,
Just take my hand,
And pull me close to you
I need to be next to you
Don't need no pretty boy prince on a stupid white horse
To rescue me
Don't need no chocolates or roses
All I need is your arms tight around me,
Your sweetly warm embrace
You've brought me to my knees and I
Keep trying to find the key to the
Only heart I'll ever need
But everything I can see
Is so close,
But so far of my reach
And the only thing left that I can touch
Here on the ground
Is the dust you left me in
Perfect dreams and pretty words
Fake feelings,
I felt as free as a bird
I've never been as happy
As I am when you're with me
Once upon a time,
I was a foolish little girl
Thought I was in love with a stupid little boy
We're childish at twelve,
It's true
But I'm not twelve anymore
I'm older now,
I'm stronger now,
I'm smarter now
And I should've known better than to fall in love with you
You've brought me to my knees and I
Keep trying to find the key to the
Only heart I'll ever need
But everything I can see
Is so close,
But so far of my reach
And the only thing left that I can touch
Here on the ground
Is the dust you left me in
