slow dancing in a burning room

it's not a silly little moment

it's not the storm before the calm

this is the deep and 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

nobody's going to come and save you

we've pulled too many false alarms

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'll make the most of all the sadness

you'll be a bitch

because you can

you try to hit me

just to hurt me

so you leave me feeling dirty

'cause you

you can't understand

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

go cry about it

why don't you?

go cry about it

why don't you?

and ooh

go cry about it

go cry about it

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 have learned somehow?

don't you think we ought to know by now?

don't you think we should have learned somehow?

don't you think we ought to know by now?

don't you think we oughta hadda learned somehow?

my dear

we're slow dancing in a burning room
