Empty Ground by Tiffany Johnson (SD) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Isn't it tragic, isn't it hopeless
It was so perfect
Until it was broken
A shiny new house up on top of the hill
But lord knows I was born a stray
Not the kind to stick around in a stick around town
But for you I would've stayed
For you I would've stayed
We watched the wallpaper peel and the floorboards fall
You claimed that I gave no signs but didn't you see what I saw

[Chorus]
Cause baby we were gold, but the gold's run out
And I promised I'd never be a ghost in your town
So maybe I won't stick around
We both know there's nothing here for us now
Now all that's left is this empty ground
Ground, ground, ground, ground

[Verse 2]
You used to say you loved me and I used to beliеve it
Now you're just a stranger, who knows all my sеcrets
So I'll burn this house down like you burned down my trust
And in the morning, I'll be gone, I'll be gone
You acted so surprised the day we fell in pieces
But I wasn't myself for weeks on end and you didn't even see it
[Chorus]
Cause baby we were gold, but the gold's run out
And I promised I'd never be a ghost in your town
So maybe I won't stick around
We both know there's nothing here for us now
Now all that's left is this empty ground
Ground, ground, ground, ground

[Bridge]
And now I'm dust in the wind
And you're just dust in the ground
I buried my feelings for you six feet down

[Chorus]
Cause baby we were gold, but the gold's run out
And I promised you I'd never be a ghost in your town so
Maybe I won't stick around
We both know there's nothing here for us now
Now, all that's left is this empty ground
Ground, ground, Ground, ground
