I started this fire hoping you would save me
And in the happy ending oh you forgave me
Too bad life isn't always a fairy tale
Too bad life doesn't always end so well

I choreographed the art of imperfection
I wrote the book on how to drown in one's reflection
Pardon the cracks if you would see them as character
That is, if it's in your heart to still love me

Would you have this dance with me
Oh would you dance with me
Think of all the happy times
Forget this
Misery

I started to leave hoping you'd say don't go
I wore my lipstick pretty dress put on a great show
I love applause from the crowd but mostly i want yours
I miss the way you use to look at me

Would you have this dance with me
Oh would you dance with me
Think of all the happy times
Forget this
Misery.
