I knew the song
Chord for chord, beat for beat until
You came in and took the lead
You grabbed my hand
Warm and bubbly feelings enveloped me
And as we danced to a perfect harmony
I found that I was ignoring
The icy chill that you were hiding underneath

For every smile
Later came a tear
For every sweet word you cooed I
Can think of a thousand other
Things I’d like to say to you
Baby you’re lucky humiliation isn’t my style

So I
I’m not gonna waste my time and breath
On torturing all my friends
With pointless woeful words about you
'Cause they saw
The nightmare that I lived through
And they all understand
One thing that I wish you'd get
Boy I’m better forgetting
Without
Freeing myself from
Than you

You tricked me into thinking
That I was the only girl you wanted
To be spending all of your time with
You opened up my mind
To thoughts of
Love and devotion and relationships
I was willing
To give you space
To give you time to
Catch up with my heart's racing
But instead you totally pulled out and
Never tried to reach the finish line

For every smile
Later came a tear
For every sweet word you cooed I
Can think of a thousand other
Things I’d like to call you
But it'd be too easy to just embarrass you


I'm not one for second chances
You really should have seen this coming
Letting me down
For a girl you knew would turn around
And tell me the truth
Did you set this up specifically
Was all you ever wanted was to hurt me
Don't you dare treat me like I’m worthless
Whether or not you did this all on purpose
This is my ballroom you better leave

Because I
Am not going to waste my time and breath
On torturing all my friends
And myself
With pointless explanations
What's done is done and I'm ready
To move on
To grow ever stronger
Our dance is complete now be a man and
Bow out so I can feel you leave
One tear more, maybe
One final memory
One final dream of how things used to be
And lesson learned

So I
I’m not gonna waste my time and breath
On torturing all my friends
With pointless woeful words about you
'Cause they saw
The nightmare that I lived through
And they all understand
One thing that I wish you'd get
Boy I’m better forgetting
Without
Freeing myself from
Than you
