You and me, we dance this dance,
All broken glass and circumstance,
Waltzing on sore bleeding feet,
Lost in you, there's no retreat.
The music drowns out my pleas to you,
Spinning in circles, nothing new.
At arms length, never heart to heart,
Though you've had mine from the start.
Painted smiles and pretty hair,
But pain is what lies under there.
I hope and pray I'll walk away,
For this dance to end someday,
But you and I both know I'll stay,
That I'll continue to dance and sway,
Because love doesn't disappear,
And I'd rather hurt and keep you near.
