Won't Let the Dust Settle

Happiness is a clever creature Call her gently, she's young and wild Once close, but the cleft grows wider Wonder where she went Wonder how she's doing now Clearer now Still foggy A haze over the truth Still here On both feet Takes more than a blow, To pull my roots See it settle See it settle on my bones Wounded petals Sandpaper sentences built the throne You sat on August 29th When you decided that I Wasn't worth the fight A portrait of innocence Was all you were interested in (Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, dust Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust settle Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, dust Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust) Tore every gift you gave me Blessed with the strike of a match Kissed every scar on my body Promised I never let another Burn a witch with a lie Clearer now Still foggy A haze over the truth Still here On both feet Takes more than a blow, To pull my roots See it settle See it settle on my bones Wounded petals Sandpaper sentences built the throne You sat on August 29th When you decided that I Wasn't worth the fight A portrait of innocence Was all you were interested in (Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, dust Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust settle Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, dust Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust) I was fine, till you messed with me Now my wine's wasted, my energy, Is all spent Picking up the pieces Cause I don't believe In casting blame, saving face You break it, you buy it I guess that's why I hide my lock and keys Honey See it settle See it settle on my bones Wounded petals Sandpaper sentences built the throne You sat on August 29th When you decided that I Wasn't worth the fight A portrait of innocence Was all you were interested in When my heart skipped a beat, It jumped over you and me (Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, dust Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust settle Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, dust Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust settle Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, dust Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust settle Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust, Won't let the dust settle)
