Why This Last Dance

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
They'd tell me its time to goYou 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 spaceAs 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 usYou 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 spaceSomeone else can hang pictures over holes in the walls
Duck and take cover from the screams in the halls
Sing you to sleep when you're hurt from the fall
And somehow I will miss this allLets burn this place down
Scatter the ashes
Paint it with gasoline
Start throwing matches
Somewhere in this wreck remains dying loveYou 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 spaceSomeone else can hang pictures over holes in the walls
Duck and take cover from the screams in the halls
Sing you to sleep when you're hurt from the fall
And somehow I will miss this allAs we dance
Knowing that its our last one
If these walls could talk
They'd tell us it's time to go
