Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

Lyrics

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 gonna come and save you
 We 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 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?
 Go cry about it, why don't you?
 My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room

 Burning room
 Don't you think we oughta know by now?
 Don't you think we should have learned somehow?
 Dont you think we oughta know by now?
 Dont you think we should have learned somehow?
 Don't you think we oughta know by now?
 Don't you think we should have learned somehow?

 Nobody's gonna come and save you
