Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not a silly little moment, it's 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
[Verse 2]
We're going down
And you can see it too
We're going down, down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Verse 3]
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 think 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
When you leave me feeling dirty 'cause you can't understand
[Verse 4]
We're going down
And you can see it too
We're going down, oh
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Verse 5]
Go cry about it, why don't you?
Go cry about it, why don't you?
Go cry about it, cry about it
[Verse 6]
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
In a burning room
In a burning room
Don't you think we ought to know by now?
Don't you think we should have learned somehow?
Don't you think we ought to know by now?
Don't you think we ought to learn somehow?
Don't you think we ought to, don't you think we ought to
Don't you think we ought to move on?
'Cause my dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
