Won't Let the Dust Settle Lyrics

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)
