The music rings on
Nonsense is all I hear though
As the crowds gather
And I'm left with my fear-
I can't help but wonder
If this is how it'll always be.

I ask you dear
If we might have just a dance,
But what a fool I am
To think I can gather some courage
And overcome the uncalled-for fame.

At this point
It's more than a dance;
It's becoming a fight for balance.
While all I can do is sit and watch
As the night goes on.
All I can think of is
You with another man.

Hand in hand
Alone under the spotlight.
We'll all watch
And I won't even be able to stand
All of this because of a dance.

Are you still feeling the same?
Cause It feels like you've gone away.
Maybe it's just me you can't see;
I'm not the one that wants to leave.
But I'm still hoping you'll stay.
Why won't you stay?

Am I just filling your heart
So you don't fall apart?
Either way you're gonna call it quits;
The knot will soon slip.
I know I'm gonna scream.
Why can't this be a dream?

You appreciate everything I've done,
But all you wanted was some fun.
But I'm much more than that,
I'm so much better than that.
Yet I'm still screaming.
Just tell me I'm dreaming.

You take back
Everything you say,
And at the end of the day,
There's no story to be told.
You're all alone
In the person you portray.
You speak without
Looking at my face
So how do I know
You mean what you say?

You were an actor
Playing the part.
You preached your words
Better than a pastor.
Who was I to believe
Every word you spoke,
When every time you'd say,
"I love you,"
You almost choked.

I stay away every other day,
My mind is gone but
My body still lies with you.
I put you on a pedestal
But it was sure to brake.
Just like the time you take,
You pass by and
Can never be replayed.
The time between you and I
Goes "tic-toc" and then you're gone.
