lyrics

I’m never gonna dance again / guilty feet ain’t got no rhythm / though it’s easy to pretend / I know you’re not a fool / should have known better than to cheat a friend / a waste the chance that I’ve been given / so I’m never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you /

Started off strong, then you became my weakness / fiend for another one of you into sickness / gave you the code to push all my buttons / halves on a home with plans for a future / mastered your heart and art of Kama sutra / but then you call me, caught up with the way you’re creeping / look me dead in the eyes, I know your lying / what happened to us, what happened to the passion / screaming I should leave this time, I hope you mean it / you’re more open than a book that’s read in public libraries / I should have known better / jacked you from another brother four years ago, he didn’t see it coming / thought it was butter, now we just cut buddies / pieces of a soul erased, you still say you love me / but you can keep that / I’m trying to find another dance with a new Goddess and no strings attached /

C: Though it’s easy to pretend / are we lovers, are we friends / is it love or is it lust for our sins / victims of temptation, my patience runs thin / through a circle of emotions, never knowing when it ends / though it’s easy to pretend / we’re going through motions again / old souls spinning whispers in the wind / is it innocence or is it blinded ignorance / in the sense I’m seeing us in every fake relationship /

And I’m so wrapped up in denial as of late when fate / signifies my empty eyes, purified by my cynical mind state / and I know that I could handle this better / but then I tend to self destruct every time we’re together / cuz girl you know that I’m a stranger to this aspect of life / a tangled web I weave inside and you’re asking me why / well the problem is there’s someone else inside of my subconsciousness / in minuet and tragedy, so when you dance with me, the chance is that my heart is not in this / so I keep you at distance / either vague or presumptuous and there isn’t much difference / between the two in my world—I deserve this game of solitaire / swaying by lonesome on a dance floor that wasn’t always there / because if ever I could still never tell you why when I don’t understand at all myself / but if you still feel my hands grip you down by the hips and I dip you, just know I’ll look at you and hope for someone else who’s got my soul the same /

Chorus

I got the blues VITAL / Maylay, tell me why’s that / because this girl I gave my all ain’t giving it back / already got another victim before I even moved out / about to blow my brains out, this ain’t what love’s about / right, but I’m the last that should be giving advice / checking my wrists before I’m slitting them twice / I never understood this energy / but people call it chemistry / yeah well, I ain’t asking for any of their sympathy / cuz they’ve been through it probably more times than us / we break each other down to test each other’s trust / love ain’t but a word but pain we all know / when rushed to live once / but lies don’t help us grow and so /

I’m never gonna dance again…
