You held me up, held me down

Made me crazy then you brought me around

Were my darkness and my light

You were my blindness and my sight

Were my shelter and my storm

Made me cold then you made me warm

You were my fever and my cure

Made me doubt and you made me sure

One step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last

You were my hope and my fear

You were my laughter and my tear

Were my destiny and my faith

Kept me movin' and you made me wait

Were my weakness and my power

You were the thorn in the flower

You were my sunshine and the rain

Made me feel so good brought so much pain

Now, one step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last

And we never really meant for each other

We were never really meant to last

In the years that we danced together

Each step forward, we took two steps back

Each step forward, we took two steps back

Now, one step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last

One step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last
