DANCING WITH MY DARK You see now, that we’re here With a spotlight in the dark Dancing through the night Even when the music stopped Every heavy breath of the passionate waves Of our bodies that tend to amaze We share the moment like nobody cares They look at us, nobody dares There was just us in the secrecy of the night Sneaking kisses in the shadow’s light Ironic and conflicted But the night’s still young So you kept dancing in my dark, Of the tragic tales unsung Silently crying Silently there Within your embrace I had so much to declare I meant to say As you watch my vulnerability I wanted to ask Will you still be able to love me?
But words abandoned my corrupted lungs And I spoke words I have always sung I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I apologized a little bit a lot For a fault in the melody Of my own fucked up heart But the dance I thought I was swaying alone Was vanished as you spoke a wonderful song -I’ll always be here. I will never leave And that was a statement I couldn’t believe Because all my life I watch people come And all my life I saw they go Without goodbyes, without regret I guess I was the type that people left And this time, I heard it again I’ll hold on to your words as much as I can Like how you hold my hand as we dance Throughout this one hell of a night With a spotlight in the dark Sneaking kisses in the shadow’s light Even when the music stopped
