Stupid Dance

I'm sitting here thinking
I never saw this shit coming
I was so caught up in
your way of smoothly
telling me what the fuck to do

I always ended up
apologizing for things
I never thought I was guilty of
Just to keep the peace
Just to keep the noise
Just to keep you

I always made sure
I went back over
the way I said or didn't say things
I have allowed myself to dance
a dance I will call: "just to keep her"

Just to keep her
I changed all my ways
Just to keep her
I changed my patterns
Just to keep her
I hide from the truth of all our misunderstandings
Just to keep her
I sit in my car talking and pleading
Just to keep her
I closed my office door and convinced her I loved her
Just to keep her
I cried alone, wishing and hoping things would change
Just to keep her
I called and called
Just to keep her
I almost lost myself

Now it's to the point
I don't think I can keep her
She says everything I do and say is wrong
She said she hates the relationship
She said she wasn't coming to anything I invited her to, bc
She has already been this way and doesn't want to return
She says she has to go, she has things to do with her career
She says she won't feel guilty bc she tried to talk to me
She says she has to call me back later

So as I said I'm sitting here thinking
all the dances I danced for her would keep her
but it seems it just kept her for just a little while
the fire in my flames of all of this
I always thought she wanted to stay
