We both sat there in denial
I was miles away
You dusted off your old flats

And you practiced your plies

Blank stares across an empty vacuum

Of stubbornness and vanity
Instead of saying what you really mean
You just dance away from me


I know your shadows
Are engrossed in silhouettes

You know just how that dance goes,
My Queen of Pirouettes


Cold breezes and colder shoulders
To make this night complete
Do I dare drag my feet

Dare to sleep alone?
Will you keep dancing to the beat?


I know your shadows
Are engrossed in silhouettes
You know just how that dance goes,

My Queen of Pirouettes

I'll scream it from the rooftops

Get this out of me
And bellow out of key
I'm too tired

And now I just wanna fall asleep
But you just dance away from me


I know your shadows
Are engrossed in silhouettes
You know just how that dance goes,

My Queen of Pirouettes
