Glass in the Dust

[Verse 1] I keep the good parts close Like they were the whole story Your laugh on the bus seat Your hand in the morning But I know what broke us The missed calls, the cold replies The way we kept saying “Later” with tired eyes [Pre-Chorus] My mind loves to edit Paint gold on the cracks But truth stays in the room When I look back [Chorus] Don’t turn the glass to gold Don’t turn the glass to gold What hurt is still real What left is still real Don’t turn the glass to gold Don’t turn the glass to gold I want the whole truth now Not just the sweet part [Verse 2] I held onto one sunset Like it fixed every storm But mornings were heavy And the silence was long We were never a picture We were heat and we were strain Two hearts in the same house Learning loss by name [Pre-Chorus] My heart keeps rewriting The scene in my head But every perfect moment Had a shadow with it [Chorus] Don’t turn the glass to gold Don’t turn the glass to gold What hurt is still real What left is still real Don’t turn the glass to gold Don’t turn the glass to gold I want the whole truth now Not just the sweet part [Bridge] Let me see it plain now The love and the damage The joy and the exits The signs we both missed No more soft-focus No more empty wishing If it ended, it ended I can live with this [Chorus] Don’t turn the glass to gold Don’t turn the glass to gold What hurt is still real What left is still real Don’t turn the glass to gold Don’t turn the glass to gold I want the whole truth now Not just the sweet part
