Dance of Fireflies

Come a little closer,

There's something you should know.

The sweetest kind of poison Is the hardest to let

go.

You pull me in,

then push away, Turn my midnight into day.

You know the words that make me stay,

Then act surprised when I obey.

We wear our smiles like masquerades,

Make little promises that fade.

You call it love,

I call it fate,

We're both too proud to walk away.

Oh, darling, don't pretend,

You love the start,

you fear the end.

You hate the fire,

crave the flame, And every time,

you play the game.

Round and round, we lose control,

You steal my heart,

I steal your soul.

We laugh, we lie,

we kiss, we fight,

Two wrongs that somehow feel so right.

Oh, my favorite tragedy,

You're the lock and I'm the key.

If we're a storm,

let heaven fall, I'd rather dance than feel nothing at all.

You say I'm trouble dressed in gold,

A beautiful mistake to hold.

But every time you say goodbye,

You turn around and catch my eye.

You know my weakness,

know my pride, You see the truth I keep inside.

We make a mess,

then call it art,

Two strangers playing with one heart.

If I let go,

would you chase me?

If you walked away,

would you replace me?

Maybe we're a beautiful mistake.

Maybe we're too scared to break.

So let the whole world disappear,

We'll dance until the end is near.

Round and round, we lose control,

You steal my heart,

I steal your soul.

We laugh, we lie,

we kiss, we fight,

Two lost stars in a borrowed night.

Oh, my favorite tragedy,

You're the storm inside of me.

If we're a dream,

don't wake us now,

We'll take our final curtain bow.

You were never good for me.

You were never meant to be.

But when the music starts again...

We'll meet beneath the lights.
