Dancing Quietly

It's all the same to me baby,
Don't worry about the night--
Because I can take all your secrets
And hide them,
But still you put up a fight.
And I just don't understand you,
Why walk the line
When you don't really have to?
Could you really turn away
That easily?
Shouldn't it be just a little bit
Harder than that?
Or am I that easy to forget--
The girl you've never really known,
And I wonder if it's because you
Don't want to,
Or if you just won't allow yourself to.
This isn't love sweetheart,
Because you can't get past
All the technicalities,
Both real
And those that exist
Only in your mind.
I could dance quietly,
But honey,
I'd rather make a scene,
'Cause I think that you're
Going to regret this someday.
I just want to make sure
That you're certain,
Because this girl doesn't come
With a lifetime guarentee--
It's a once and a lifetime offer,
That I've all but made.
And yet I know,
That I can only put so much bait
On one tiny little hook.
