break up slow dance

there was a time

when my lips were wine

your favorite kind

but now there's a sour taste

there was a moment

i called you home

the best i had known

but now it's an empty place

baby

baby

baby

i'm afraid i see the end

you can hold me closer

but it's hard to fight it when

they're playing our song

but it's clearing the floor

it's no good anymore

but we didn't notice

the lights are all on

but we're still closing our eyes

wish we had a little more time

but everything is broken

and we can't change that

the breakup slow dance

break up slow dance

remember we'd say

on champs-elysees

we'd get married someday

but baby we never did

my mother cried

she knew the whole time

that look in your eyes

meant you weren't made for your it

baby

baby

baby

i'm afraid i see the end

you can hold me closer

but it's hard to fight it when

they're playing our song

but it's clearing the floor

it's no good anymore

but we didn't notice

the lights are all on

but we're still closing our eyes

wish we had a little more time

but everything is broken

and we can't change that

it's the breakup slow dance

break up slow dance

close your eyes and dance with me

maybe this will all be a dream

close your eyes and dance with me

we can end this tenderly
