We turned the music up to drown it out
You poured the drinks, I looked away
The song came on, the one we called ours
And neither of us knew what to say
You took my hand the way you used to
And I let you pull me in
Because the alternative was standing
In the truth of where we've been
Slow Dancing In The Dark
Just us and all our broken parts
You smile like nothing's wrong
While I'm falling apart to our favorite song
I know every step of this by heart
I know the way you breathe when you're fine
But pretending has a weight that builds
And tonight it's pressing hard against mine
The song is almost over now
We're running out of dark
Neither of us wants to be
The one who ends this part
Slow Dancing In The Dark
Pretending we still have a heart
For this, for us, for anything
But I can feel you leaving while we're swaying
Just one more song
Just one more turn
Just one more night of almost
Before we burn
Slow Dancing In The Dark
Just us and all our broken parts
I'm falling apart to our favorite song
While you're already gone
You poured the drinks, I looked away
The song came on, the one we called ours
And neither of us knew what to say
You took my hand the way you used to
And I let you pull me in
Because the alternative was standing
In the truth of where we've been
Slow Dancing In The Dark
Just us and all our broken parts
You smile like nothing's wrong
While I'm falling apart to our favorite song
I know every step of this by heart
I know the way you breathe when you're fine
But pretending has a weight that builds
And tonight it's pressing hard against mine
The song is almost over now
We're running out of dark
Neither of us wants to be
The one who ends this part
Slow Dancing In The Dark
Pretending we still have a heart
For this, for us, for anything
But I can feel you leaving while we're swaying
Just one more song
Just one more turn
Just one more night of almost
Before we burn
Slow Dancing In The Dark
Just us and all our broken parts
I'm falling apart to our favorite song
While you're already gone
