Why This Last Dance Lyrics - Cauterize

As we dance 

Here in this empty apartment 

Echoes of laughter 

Will haunt me for after 

Put your memories in boxes 

Cut all your losses 

Romance left this place long ago 

If these walls could talk 

They'd tell me its time to go 

You gave this place so much colour 

I don't know why I did not see that before 

You gave life to this place 

Without you it's empty space 

As we kiss, 

Knowing that it's our last one 

Put sheets on the mattress, 

Sleep hasn't found us 

Tear the curtains from the window 

Let the world see this last dance 

And now, 

What was left for us 

Turn all the lights out 

Lock the door behind us 

You gave this place so much colour, 

I don't know why I did not see that before 

You gave life to this place, 

Without you it's empty space 

Someone else can hang pictures over holes in the walls 

Duck and take cover from the screams in the halls 

Sing you to sleep when you're hurt from the fall 

And somehow I will miss this all 

Lets burn this place down 

Scatter the ashes 

Paint it with gasoline 

Start throwing matches 

Somewhere in this wreck remains dying love 

You gave this place so much colour 

I don't know why I did not see that before 

You gave life to this place 

Without you it's empty space 

Someone else can hang pictures over holes in the walls 

Duck and take cover from the screams in the halls 

Sing you to sleep when you're hurt from the fall 

And somehow I will miss this all 

As we dance 

Knowing that its our last one 

If these walls could talk 

They'd tell us it's time to go
