Thanks To You Will I Ever Be More Than Dust
You built me up made, made me trust you.
But now you’re the nightmare that plays even in the direct ray of light.
You make me fight not to call you because you are like a fire who made me burn so bright
Your glowing Tyz – yeh nothing to do with me but the little fire I let inside
At first nothing but a bit of warmth to find comfort in
But you find everyone noticing the light
You say it's meaningless but can't hide the smile - just some comfort in the cold gloomy nights
Really the fire is burning through everything inside
As you feel the heat beginning to fade all you can do is beg it to stay
I thought I wasn’t this kind of girl
Praying every day it finds something new to latch on
I thought I was more than some burnt up coal – hoping for some yellow ambers to become alight
The fire finds something new to latch on
As it always does
But I always thought it’d be another part of me
A chapter in our us
But maybe I am just summed up as dust
Since the fire left
I’ve tried so hard to burn
Flipping page to page
Lifting weights on weights
Going from candle to match
But you’re the only one who will ever let me burn so bright
But comfort in the cold isn’t easy when you're burnt to dust
Any little wind now has the power to rupture these ever so fragile pieces of dust
