it's not a silly moment
it's not the storm before the calm
this is the deep dying breath of
this love that we've been working on

can't seem to hold you like i want to
so i can feel you in my arms
we're going down, and you can see it too
we're going down, and you know that we're doomed
my dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room

i was the one you always dreamed of
you were the one i tried to draw
how dare you say it's nothing to me
baby you're the only light i ever saw

i made the most of the sadness
you'll be a bitch because you can
you'll try to hit me just to hurt me
so you leave me dirty 'cause you can't understand

go cry about it, why don't you
my dear we're slow dancing in a burning room

don't you think we ought to know by now?
don't you think we should've learned somehow?
