Sweet Sucka Dance

I almost closed the door

Cancelled on everything we opened up for

Tonight, the shadows had their stay

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 dancin' fools, you and me

Tonight, it's a dance of insecurity

It's my solo while you're away

Shadows have the saddest things 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

Livin' can be such a pleasure

You make it easy to take it in measures

Like it was only a dance

We're dancin' 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're 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

It's only a dance
