Why This Last Dance Lyrics

As we dance

Here in this empty apartment

Echoes of laughter

Will haunt me for after

Put your memories in boxes

Cut all your losses

Romance left this place long ago

If these walls could talk

Then they'd tell me its time to go



You gave this place so much colour

I don’t know why I did not see that before

You gave life to this place

Without you it’s empty space



As we kiss,

Knowing that it’s our last one

Put sheets on the mattress,

Sleep hasn’t found us

Tear the curtains from the window let the world see this last dance

And now,

What was left for us

Turn all the lights out

Lock the door behind us



You gave this place so much colour,

I don’t know why I did not see that before

You gave life to this place,

Without you it’s empty space



Someone else gave me pictures of holding the world

Talking to cover the screams in the hall

Singing you to sleep when you’re hurt from the fall

And somehow I will miss this… all



Lets burn this place down

Scatter the ashes

Paint it with gasoline

Start throwing matches

Somewhere in this life we made time



You gave this place so much colour

I don’t know why I did not see that before

You gave life to this place

Without you it’s empty space



Someone else gave me pictures of holding the world

Talking to cover the screams in the hall

Singing you to sleep when you’re hurt from the fall

And somehow I will miss this… all



As we dance

Knowing that its our last one

If these walls could talk

They’d tell us it’s time to go
