Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I almost closed the door
Cancelled on everything we opened up for
Tonight the shadows had their say
Their sad notions of the way things really are
Damn these blues
They turned my heart against you
Since I was fool enough to find romance
I'm trying to convince myself
This is just a dance
We move in measures
Through love's changing faces
Needy and nonchalant
Greedy and gracious
Through petty dismissals
And grand embraces
Like it was only a dance
We are survivors
Some get broken, some get mended
Some can't surrender
They're too well defended
Some get lucky
Some are blessed and some pretend
This is only a dance
We're dancing fools, you and me
Tonight it's a dance of insecurity
It's my solo while you're away
And shadows have the saddest thing to say
Love, we can't live without it
Why do we go out and get it
Then turn around and doubt it
Like we're scared to care
It's hard to talk about it
Let's just say it's only a dance
ย
Tonight the shadows had their say
"There's a sucker born a day"
I heard them say
Born to lose
Am I a sucker to love you
You're such a sweet love
You're a proud man, you're a treasure
Time passes gracefully
Living can be such a pleasure
You make it easy to take it in measures
Like it was only a dance
ย
We're dancing fools, you and me
Tonight it's a dance of insecurity
It's my solo, blew away
We are survivors
Some get broken, some get mended
Some can't surrender
They're too well defended
Some get lucky
Some are blessed and some pretend
This is only a dance
