Square Dance

 

Let me take a moment 

To stop

Reflect

And grow

I’ve spent so much bad time 

But why

Did I

Waste it

Playing the victim card

I’m weak

And then

Blamed you

That’s dumb, I was young and irresponsible 

I couldn’t own my mistakes in our romance

You were no hero but not the one villain. 

A relationship takes two to tango 

A failed one is a square dance 

Throwing each one off to another

In an endless dance we’ve danced 

Now that I am older

I see

And know

It’s wrong

That I blamed you alone

No one

We knew

Was safe

Everyone was involved 

That saw

Or said

A thing 

They did too much or they did nothing at all 

Complicit bystanders but back to us please

We need to face it that we both fucked it up 

A relationship takes two to tango 

A failed one is a square dance 

Throwing each one off to another

In an endless dance we’ve danced 

5 6 7 8

Swing your allegations round and round 

Grab a lie that’s by your side 

Pass it off to the one that’s next

And let it rotate that mistake 

A relationship takes two to tango 

A failed one is a square dance 

Throwing each one off to another

In an endless dance we’ve danced
