When The Dust Settles

[Intro] [Catchy Power Instrumental] [Verse 1] I was the sun in your sky, Lighting up your darkest night, But when the shadows closed in tight, You faded out of sight. [Pre-Chorus] Promises like whispers in the wind, I thought you'd be there 'til the end. [Chorus] When the dust settles, you're nowhere to be found, You were there for the glory, not when I was down, Now I'm picking up the pieces, standing on my own, When the dust settles, I'm here all alone. [Interlude] [Guitar solo, conveying the pain of betrayal and loss] [Break] [Verse 2] You took my strength, you took my pride, Left me with nothing but a hollow inside, The echoes of our laughter, they haunt me still, But I know now, it was all for the thrill. [Pre-Chorus] Empty words that felt so true, Now I see right through you. [Chorus] When the dust settles, you're nowhere to be found, You were there for the glory, not when I was down, Now I'm picking up the pieces, standing on my own, When the dust settles, I'm here all alone. [Bridge] I thought we'd rise, we'd fight, we'd fall, But you were never there at all, Now the truth is clear as day, Real friends don't just walk away. [Break] [Melodic Interlude] [Choir] When the dust settles, I'm here all alone. [Bridge] I thought we'd rise, we'd fight, we'd fall, But you were never there at all, Now the truth is clear as day, Real friends don't just walk away. [Break] [Melodic Interlude] [Choir] [Break] [Chorus] When the dust settles, you're nowhere to be found, You were there for the glory, not when I was down, Now I'm picking up the pieces, standing on my own, When the dust settles, I'm here all alone. [Ending] [Guitar strumming] When the dust settles, when the dust settles, I'm here, I'm here, standing all alone. Now the truth is clear as day, Real friends don't just walk away. [Chorus] When the dust settles, you're nowhere to be found, You were there for the glory, not when I was down, Now I'm picking up the pieces, standing on my own, When the dust settles, I'm here all alone. [Ending] [Guitar strumming] When the dust settles, when the dust settles, I'm here, I'm here, standing all alone.
