We both sat there in denial
I was miles away
You dusted off your old flats
And you practiced your plies

Blank stares across an empty vacuum
Of stubbornness and vanity
Instead of saying what you really mean
You just dance away from me

I know your shadows
Are engrossed in silhouettes
You know just how that dance goes,
My Queen of Pirouettes

Cold breezes and colder shoulders
To make this night complete
Do I dare drag my feet
Dare to sleep alone?
Will you keep dancing to the beat?

I know your shadows
Are engrossed in silhouettes
You know just how that dance goes,
My Queen of Pirouettes

I'll scream it from the rooftops
Get this out of me
And bellow out of key
I'm too tired
And now I just wanna fall asleep
But you just dance away from me

I know your shadows
Are engrossed in silhouettes
You know just how that dance goes,
My Queen of Pirouettes
