I’ve been thinking of you lately
All of the things that were good
In all of the leaving it’s easy to emphasize the bad
I admit I have been angry
For all the things you misunderstood
In all of the grieving it’s easy to know why I was so mad
But, back when it all began
You held out your hand
Quietly asked of me to dance
I danced the dance for you
I took a chance
I moved away for a hopeless romance
Gave up family and friends to make you a home
In the end I’m the one to turn up alone
I took a chance for you
I danced the dance
I ran away for a hopeless romance
All of the hopeless nights ending in grace
Until you turned all my pain in my face
Left me there wondering just what I did
Tearing down walls on the lies that you hid
I was the one they cast out in the end
Dividing from me my family and friends
Once, everything was perfect
We were taking on the world
That tiny town was big enough for me
The chances were worth it
Opportunities all swirled
Until they took lonely turns dividing your company
I close my eyes and I can see
Your hand waiting for me
As you asked me to dance
I danced the dance for you
I took a chance
I moved away for a hopeless romance
Gave up family and friends to make you a home
In the end I’m the one to turn up alone
I took a chance for you
I danced the dance
I ran away for a hopeless romance
All of the hopeless nights ending in grace
Until you turned all my pain in my face
Left me there wondering just what I did
Tearing down walls on the lies that you hid
I was the one they cast out in the end
Dividing from me my family and friends
Forgiveness, I know it isn’t easy
You didn’t even strive to deserve me
Spending all of your time lying
Chasing away the chance to win me back
But in the end I still remember when you asked me to dance
I danced the dance for you
I took a chance
I moved away for a hopeless romance
Gave up family and friends to make you a home
In the end I’m the one to turn up alone
I took a chance for you
I danced the dance
I ran away for a hopeless romance
All of the hopeless nights ending in grace
Until you turned all my pain in my face
Left me there wondering just what I did
Tearing down walls on the all the lies you hid
But how can I be angry after all of these years
Why am I still wasting all of these tears
You’ve gone away and God closed the door
Leaving me there alone on the dance floor
