namesake

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

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

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 make the most of all the sadness
you be a bitch because you can
oh you try to hit me just to hurt me but you leave me feeling dirty

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

go cry about it why don't you
go cry about it why don't you
oh go cry about it, go cry about it.
my dear, we're slowing dancing in a burning room

oh in a burning room
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learnt by now
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learnt somehow

my dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.
