Rust

[Verse 1]

And all within a minute, I saw you look away

I knew there was something I had said

That caused your mind to stray

And all at once I felt it, the ache for a subject change

Do you, really want me here

What else is there to say

Things just haven’t been the same since that day

My darling, have they

We have become such melancholy people

Trying to get back what we lost

Cracks are making it so hard to see through

Looking glass of broken chest

Love is so envious of lust

It looks like gold, she feels like rust

[Chorus]

Don’t call me baby, if you can’t take care of me

Don’t tell me baby, making promises that you can’t keep

We’ve been holding on, holding on

For oh so long, like nothing is wrong

The flame is dead, the heat is gone

I put my sadness in a song

It sounded like

Oh (it looks like gold, she feels like rust)

[Verse 2]

If there could be a world where the past did not exist

You can bag this all and go, go and live in it

But I’m stuck on memory lane

A neighborhood of pain

Where repeated mistakes become your fate

Beware of doubt reads the outside gate

Love is so envious of lust

It looks like gold, she feels like rust

[Chorus]

Don’t call me baby, if you can’t take care of me

Don’t tell me baby, making promises that you can’t keep

We’ve been Holding on, holding on

For oh so long, like nothing is wrong

The flame is dead, the heat is gone

I put my sadness in a song

It sounded like

Woh (it looks like gold, she feels like rust)

(it looks like gold, she feels like rust)

[Bridge]

Decay and dismay made over time

Forgetting to maintain what is mine

And all appeal is slowly lost

This precious mantel turns to dust

[Chorus]

Don’t call me baby, if you can’t take care of me

Don’t tell me baby, making promises you can’t keep

We’ve been Holding on, holding on

For oh so long, like nothing is wrong

The flame is dead, the heat is gone

I put my sadness in a song

It sounded like

Woh (it looks like gold, she feels like rust)
