[Verse 1] The love I once had Is all but gone Your name still hangs On my tongue too long I trace the shape Of what we were But every room Feels thinner now [Pre-Chorus] I kept it folded Safe in my chest Now it cracks open Under my breath What I held close Turns in my hand Like summer leaves To sinking sand [Chorus] The love I once had Is turning to dust Turning to dust What I built with trust Soon it will vanish From bone to breathe The love I once had Is turning to dust [Verse 2] Your chair stays pulled At the old brown table Cold coffee rings On the chipped enamel I hear your laugh In the screen door slam Then the house goes still Like it never ran [Pre-Chorus] I kept your letter In a blue tin box Now the ink looks pale And the hinge is stuck I try to read it But the words drift loose Like smoke in the sink Like a broken truth [Chorus] The love I once had Is turning to dust Turning to dust What I built with trust Soon it will vanish From bone to breathe The love I once had Is turning to dust [Bridge] If I call your name Will it bring you near Or just wake the ache That I keep right here? I used to swear We'd outlast time Now I'm left with ash In an open mind [Final Chorus] The love I once had Is turning to dust Turning to dust What I built with trust Soon it will vanish From bone to breathe The love I once had Is turning to dust Turning to dust Turning to dust
