text: I almost closed the door
  Cancelled on everything we opened up for
  Tonight the shadows had their say
  Their sad notions of the way
  Things really are
  Damn these blues!
  Theyd turn my heart against you
  Since I was fool enough
  To find romance
  Im trying to convince myself
  This is just a dance!
  We move in measures
  Through loves changing faces
  Needy and nonchalant
  Greedy and gracious
  Through petty dismissals
  And grand embraces
  Like it was only a dance!
  We are survivors
  Some get broken
  Some get mended
  Some cant surrender
  Theyre too well defended
  Some get lucky
  Some are blessed
  And some pretend
  This is only a dance!
  Were dancing fools
  You and me
  Tonight its a dance of insecurity
  Its my solo
  While youre away
  Shadows have the saddest thing to say
  Love
  We cant live without it
  Why do we go out and get it
  Just to turn around and doubt it
  LIke were scared to care
  Its hard to talk about it
  Aw--its only a dance
  Tonight the shadows had their say
  Theres a sucker born a day
  I heard them say
  Born to lose
  Am I a sucker to love you?
  Youre such a sweet love
  Youre a proud man
  Youre a treasure
  Time passes gracefully
  Living can be such a pleasure
  You make it easy to take it in measures
  Like it was only a dance!
  Were dancing fools
  You and me
  Tonight its a dance of insecurity
  Its my solo
  Blue way
  And shadows have the saddest things to say
  We are survivors
  Some get broken
  Some get mended
  Some cant surrender
  Theyre too well defended
  Some get lucky
  Some are blessed
  And some pretend
  Its only a dance!
