Dust to Dust Lyrics
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
All your acting
Your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls you've built around
We can light a match and burn them down
Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames in front of us
Dust to dust
You've held your head up
You fought the fire
You bare the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me you've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls you've built around
We can light a match and burn them down
Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames in front of us
Dust to dust
You're like a mirror reflecting me
Takes one to know one so take it from me
You've been lonely, you've been lonely too long
We've been lonely, we've been lonely too long
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
Your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long
We can light a match and burn them down
Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames in front of us
Dust to dust
You fought the fire
You bare the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me you've been lonely too long
We can light a match and burn them down
Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames in front of us
Dust to dust
Takes one to know one so take it from me
You've been lonely, you've been lonely too long
We've been lonely, we've been lonely too long

I think this song is about two people who've been lonely for too long (hence, that line). When the girl is singing, she's talking about the guy who's acting like everything has been okay, when he's really been hurt before. "All your perfectly delivered lies, they don't fool me, you've been lonely, too long" When the guy in singing, he's saying the girl has been through a lot in the past. And again, has been lonely for too long. I think it's a beautifully written song about two people breaking down the walls they've both built up and falling in love again, both coming from bad past relationships, and finding an even greater love.
I cant help but feel they wrote this for Catching Fire but it never got included in the soundtrack because the producers wanted to move in a new direction for the second film. I think its a travesty and this should have been on the soundtrack. The link for these lyrics and the Hunger Games should be evident to anyone who has read the books or even seen the films. Peeta and Katniss to a T.
