Lyrics Cauterize – Why This Last Dance

As we dance
Here in this empty apartment
Echoes of laughter
Long live here after

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
Pull the sheets from the mattress,
Sleep hasn’t found us
Tear the curtains from the window
let the world see this last dance
And now,
What is 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 the holes in the walls.
Duck and take cover from the screams in the hall.
Sing you to sleep when you’re hurt from the fall

Let’s 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 the holes in the walls.
Duck and take cover from the screams in the hall.
Sing you to sleep when you’re hurt from the fall
And somehow I will miss this… all

As we dance
Knowing that it’s our last one
If these walls could talk
They’d tell us it’s time to go
