The scale wasn't even, I counted to three when
Measuring us
And I believed them, your words without meaning
That didn't add up
Maybe I turned a blind eye to stay on the bright side
The windows are shut
But I see the light now, I'm sorting my life out
Making the cut

Nothing but a cloud of dust that I'm leaving far behind me
It's nothing but a ring of smoke that's building up around me
I scatter it out like powder, powder
I scatter it out like powder, powder
Before I let the hurtful words you said get any louder
I just scatter it out like powder

You wanted to break me, wanting to flake me
Pick me apart
And you tried to hurt me with words that could burn me
And leave me with scars
But when I let the past go, I see the stars glow
So I choose the light
Yeah, I'll take the high road, you know I will go
That extra mile

Nothing but a cloud of dust that I'm leaving far behind me
It's nothing but a ring of smoke that's building up around me
I scatter it out like powder, powder
I scatter it out like powder, powder
Before I let the hurtful words you said get any louder
I just scatter it out like powder

Powder
Powder

When I let the past go, I see the stars glow
So I choose the light
Yeah, I'll take the high road, you know I will go
That extra mile

Nothing but a cloud of dust that I'm leaving far behind me
It's nothing but a ring of smoke that's building up around me
I scatter it out like powder, powder
I scatter it out like powder, powder
Before I let the hurtful words you said get any louder
I just scatter it out like powder
Like powder, yeah
I just scatter it out like powder
