The Brilliant Dance
By: Dashboard Confessional

So this is odd
The painful realization
That all has gone wrong
And nobody cares at all
(Nobody cares at all)

So you've buried all your lover's clothes
And burned the letters Lover wrote
But it doesn't make it any better
(Doesn't make it any better)

And the plaster dented from your fist
In the hall where you had your first kiss
Reminds you that the memories will fade

So this is strange
A side-stepping has come to be
A brilliant dance
Where nobody leads at all
(Nobody leads at all)

And the picture frames are facing down
And the ringing from this empty sound
Is deafening and keeping you from sleep

And breathing is a foreign task
And thinking's just too much to ask
And you're measuring your minutes
By a clock that's blinking eights.

This is incredible, starving, insatiable
Yes, this is love for the first time
You'd like to think that you were invincible
Yeah, weren't we all once
Before we felt lost for the first time?
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
