The Last Dance

The lights are low, the room’s still breathing
Clock on the wall says we’re almost leaving
Your hand shakes when it finds mine
Like you already know this is borrowed time
We laughed too loud, we loved too fast
Built a future out of broken glass
Every promise, every chance
All wrapped up in one last dance

Say my name like you used to do
Like tonight’s not the end of you and me
If this is where our story bends
Let it break slow, let it pretend


So give me the last dance, don’t let go yet
Spin me around like we’re not done, not dead
If this is goodbye, let it hurt real bad
Kiss me like you’ll miss what we never had
Hold me close while the song still plays
Even if love’s about to fade
If this is all we’ll ever have
Then make it count—
Give me the last dance

Your eyes say things your lips won’t try
Like you’re already learning how to say goodbye
We move in circles, same old floor
Trying not to want what we can’t ask for
Every step feels like a lie
Every smile’s a soft alibi
But in this moment, in this trance
I still believe in one last chance

If tomorrow tears us apart
Let tonight stay in my heart
No explanations, no advance
Just bodies talking through the dance

So give me the last dance, don’t rush away
Let the world wait outside tonight
If this is goodbye, don’t say a word
Let the music say what we’ve never heard
Hold me close while the song still plays
Even if love’s about to fade
If this is all we’ll ever have
Then make it count—
Give me the last dance

Maybe love was never meant to stay
Maybe some flames are born to fade
But if I’m losing you tonight
Let me lose you in the light

Give me the last dance, slow and true
One more moment just me and you
If this is goodbye, let it be sad
But beautiful like the love we had
When the music stops, I’ll understand
But until then—
Take my hand

The lights come up, the night slips past
But in my heart…
That was our last dance.

soft, conversational, almost whispered singing—more like confessing a thought out loud than performing a song
