Romance me with your promises Of a lifetime free of pain You held me and caressed me And kissed my fears away You invited me to dance And I learned the steps so well But with your hands around my neck You waltzed me into hell
All the pearls you gave to me were chains around my neck What seemed like life support soon had the opposite effect Again and again I ran from you until my feet turned black But the cold and loneliness of night always brought me back
I know it’s crazy But this is real for me Is he here with me in this? Has he really worn my shoes?
Dance with the shadows of our friends who went away Dine with the memory of love that couldn’t stay Through all the faith that I've been faking You made a heart that’s bent on breaking
I knew you were a liar Grateful I bought each one I thought you’d take me to my grave Now I'm here to say I'm done This love hate romance would be the end of me But now I have a chance to leave A hope that sets me free
Dance with the shadows of our friends who went away Dine with the memory of love that couldn’t stay Through all the faith that I've been faking You made a heart that’s bent on breaking
I'm burning all your letters I’ve set your home on fire The sound of its destruction Is like an angelic choir I’m never coming back to you Though you kick and scream and cry You’ve stolen too much from me Its time to say goodbye Its time to say goodbye
Dance with the shadows of our friends who went away Dine with the memory of love that couldn’t stay Through all the faith that I've been faking You made a heart that’s bent on breaking Dance with the shadows of our friends who went away Dine with the memory of love that couldn’t stay Through all the faith that I've been faking You made a heart that’s bent on breaking (Bent on breaking) (Bent on breaking)
