Missy Higgins Dusty Road Lyrics

Dusty Road Lyrics

I never told you, I don't know why

But all those years and all those lies

Cling to my body like oil and fire

And they will not sleep, they will not tire



So we have a problem, you see, my dear

'Cos I can't move on and I can't stay here

I gotta fix it, I need your tears

But mostly now I need your ears



See, I gotta tell you, I need you to know

You were my ruin when you took hold

You made me believe the lies you told

But you won't get away with the pride you stole

Getting off this dusty road



Girls never tell you, I don't know how

But sometimes, men, you abuse your power

We are strong and we do rebound

But bruising tends to break us down



So I gotta tell you, I need you to know

You were my ruin when you took hold

You made me believe the lies you told

But you won't get away with the pride you stole

Getting off this dusty road



And I'm trading in my sympathy for sanity

So hear me because I



I gotta tell you, I need you to know

You were my ruin when you took hold

You made me believe the lies you told

But you won't get away with the pride you stole

Getting off this dusty road
