Dust on My Heart

Your faded jacket's still hanging on the door

Leftover laughter echoing across my floor

I find your note, crumpled up beside my bed

Those seven words replay, living rent-free in my head

We built forever on shifting sand

Now I’m tracing tears back with shaky hands

There’s dust on my heart where you used to lay

Your memory haunts me brighter than day

I’m driving those back roads, fighting the ache

Losing you was my worst mistake

Don’t know how to move on, or why you walked away

The coffee's cold, I sit in your old seat

Checking my phone for the peace I never meet

Our song’s playing soft on the radio tonight

But the words just twist like barbed wire tight

We built forever on shifting sand

Now I’m tracing tears back with shaky hands

There’s dust on my heart where you used to lay

Your memory haunts me brighter than day

I’m driving those back roads, fighting the ache

Losing you was my worst mistake

Don’t know how to move on, or why you walked away

I swore someday I'd let you go

But I still drive past your street real slow

Love shouldn’t hurt and goodbyes shouldn’t last

But you’re rooted deep in my stubborn past

There’s dust on my heart where you used to lay

Your memory haunts me brighter than day

I’m driving those back roads, fighting the ache

Losing you was my worst mistake

Don’t know how to move on, or why you walked awayI'll sweep up these pieces so no one will see

But there's dust on my heart, and your ghost in me
