One step forward, two steps back
I step left and you step right
One step closer,
in the dark of night
This dance we do
It goes on and on
It never seems right,
And it ever seems wrong
Round and round,
It goes round and round
All of my life,
I have never found
Another
Who I’d ever
Dance with so long

I know you can hear me
When my eyes speak to yours
I know you can feel me
When I can’t give any more
Hold my hand; please make it stop.
One step closer, in the dark of night

So many years we’ve done this dance
From friends to nothing to sweet romance
It tears me up and it spits me out
How I just want to die
Or to scream and shout
But I’ll never give up, till the day I die
I will pray one-day
We won’t live this lie
