Intro
Verse 1
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've pulled too many false alarms
Chorus
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
Instrumental
Verse 2
I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be a bitch because you can
You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
'Cause you can't understand
Chorus
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
Instrumental
Bridge
Go cry about it, why don't you
Go cry about it, why don't you
Go cry about it, why don't you
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Instrumental
Outro
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
