"Slow Dancing In The Dark" lyrics

We turned the music up to drown the conversation
The kind we've been avoiding for a couple months now
You poured the drinks and I pretended not to notice
The way you looked at everything except my eyes somehow

The song came on, the one we always called ours
You took my hand the way you used to back when it meant something
And I let you pull me in because the alternative
Was standing in the truth of what we both know is coming

Slow dancing in the dark
Just us and all our broken parts
You smile like nothing's wrong
While I'm falling apart to our favorite song

I know every step of this by heart, I know your hands
I know the way you breathe when you're pretending to be fine
But pretending has a weight that builds up over evenings
And tonight it's pressing hard against the space between your spine

The song is almost over and we're running out of darkness
Running out of reasons to keep holding on this long
And I think we both know what comes after the last chorus
But neither of us wants to be the one who ends the song

Slow dancing in the dark
Pretending we still have a heart
For this, for us, for anything
But I can feel you leaving while we're swaying

Just one more song
Just one more turn around the floor
Just one more night of almost
Before we're nothing anymore

Slow dancing in the dark
Just the two of us and all our broken parts
I'm falling apart to our favorite song
While you're already gone
