Rust Lyrics

Tami Neilson Rust

I'm crying on the closet floor
Wearing everything you ever bought me
I'm sleeping with your winter coat
Trying to feel the warmth of you beside me
Oh I've misplaced myself in a drawer or on these shelves

Your silence rings around these walls
Took the glass out of the frames to touch you
I've walked for miles along these halls
Feeling like a stranger in a house that used to be a happy home
But now I realize since you've gone

That my heart will pound to dust
My tears turn me to rust

I'll strip my soul and draw a bath
As I whisper desperate prayers beneath my breath
I'll spray my skin with your cologne
Like a woman going mad with loneliness
Oh baby can't you see
You locked your doors and took my key

And my heart will pound to dust
My tears turn me to rust
