It's not a silly little moment
It's not 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


We're going down
And you can see it, too
We're going down

And you know that we're doomed
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room


I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw

How dare you say it's nothin to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness

You'll be a (*##$ because you can
You'll try to hit me just hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty

Because you can't understand

We're goin down

And you can see it, too
We're goin down
And you know that we're doomed

My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room


Go cry about it, why don't you?
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burnin room


Don't you think
We oughta know by now?

Don't you think
We should have learned somehow?
