Sweet Sucker Dance

I almost closed the door

Canceled on everything we opened up for

Tonight the shadows had their say

Their sad notions of the way

Things really are, damn these blues

They'd turn my heart against you

Since I was fool enough to find romance

I'm 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 can't surrender, they're too well defended

Some get lucky, some are blessed

And some pretend, this is only a dance

We're dancing fools, you and me

Tonight it's a dance of insecurity

It's my solo while you're away

And shadows have the saddest thing to say

Love, we can't live without it

Why do we go out and get it

Just to turn around and doubt it?

Like we're scared to care

It's hard to talk about it, aw, it's only a dance

Tonight the shadows had their say

There's a sucker born a day, I heard them say

Born to lose, am I a sucker to love you?

You're such a sweet love

You're a proud man, you're 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

We're dancing fools, you and me

Tonight it's a dance of insecurity

It's my solo, blue way

Shadows have the saddest things to say

We are survivors

Some get broken, some get mended

Some can't surrender, they're too well defended

Some get lucky, some are blessed

And some pretend, this is only a dance
