Dance to Forget

I've known enough desperados like you in my day

who dare to dance perched on the precipice

having been burned too many times

flesh charred to the bone from diving deep

into the same polluted pool of acidic affection

In your world of razorblade romance

and sardonic smiles sincerity doesn't stand a chance

a heart such as mine could never hope to win

imperfection an unforgivable sin 

Love songs echo in my head though I no longer sing 

while I fling every falling star I ever wished upon 

out of my window as I watch you dance to forget
