Dust in the Sunlight Lyrics

What has been done to you
has been done for a reason
From where I'm stood,
the view reminds me of home
A promise is made in good faith,
it means everything

You mean more to me each day
and you mean everything, everything
What has been done to you
has been done for a reason
From where I'm stood,
the view reminds me of home

I should know, I should know,
I won't fight, I won't fight
Well I won't fight, I won't fight,
well I won't fight, well I won't fight
Fight, fight, fight
Well I won't fight
Well I won't fight
Well I won't fight
Fight, fight, fight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

its off the single for "Bullets" i think....something like that. to me, this song's kinda of defeated, but at the same time gorgeous. its like he's saying that he's giving up on something, but thats ok, because he's kinda happy with what he's got? .....i'm probably really really really wrong.

sometimes even though you love someone very much you hurt that person unwillingly and regret it later but u repeat it .however you never want to give up that person so u try to mend his heart .And in the line" A promise is made in good faith, it means everything" the promise is a kind of an apology and at the end it says i wont fight it meaning he has done whatever he can and he leaves the rest to her. he wont fight anymore. this is what i get and cant find any other interpretation. GREAT SONG
