The Dance

Why can’t you see you’re smothering me
I can’t be everything that you need
But oh though I know that our love’s up and flown
You won’t believe that you still want me

Sometimes I see behind your eyes
The thoughts flashing past
You know this won’t last
In truth you and I are so distant
And why I didn’t see it before
I let you into my heart
I don’t know

Why you can’t see you’re nothing to me
You’ll never be anything to me
But oh though I know it seems I just can’t let go
I still believe you could be something to me

It seems like I just can’t help the way
I feel when I see
You glancing at me
And though I know it’s not real why I still
Want to know what’s behind
Your deep haunting eyes
I don’t know

Why we keep dancing around ourselves
Our souls entwined
I can’t unwind from your love

Sometimes I see behind your eyes
The thoughts flashing past
You know this won’t last
In truth you and I are so distant
And why I didn’t see it before
I let you into my heart
I don’t know
It seems like I just can’t help the way
I feel when I see
You gazing at me
And though I know it’s not real why I still
Want to know what’s behind
Your deep haunting eyes
I don’t know
