It's been two years now
And I'm still alone
Does really no one care
Does no one know

I seem to understand now
That I'll be alone
No one else will be there
So my life goes

Balancing on my toes
As I spin in death throes
Crying out my eyes for the show
That no one came to see

A lonely pirouette
I won't let me forget
My life ain't over yet
Someone will comfort me
Eventually...

It's been so long now
And I've turned to stone
I've talked to all I dare
I'm still solo

And now, looking down
Everything that I own
None of it can compare
To what I owe

Balancing on my toes
As I spin in death throes
Crying out my eyes for the show
That no one came to see

A lonely pirouette
I won't let me forget
My future still ain't set
No one can comfort me
Eternally

And you came into my life
Chasing away my sense of strife
So you were the company that I need
To silence grief's seed

You were the only thing
That allowed me to sing
And believe everything
Would soon be angel wings

So I danced through the dark
I gave you my all, my heart
Never knew you would change
That your life would rearrange

But here we are
The dancer falls apart

And you came into my life
Promised you would be my light
And you were the company that I need
To silence grief's seed

You were the very thing
That could help me to sing
And believe everything
Would soon be angel wings

So I dance in twilight
With pink and blue, my wings for flight
I never meant to leave so soon
I wished to see these flowers bloom

But here we are
The dancer's torn apart

Balancing on my toes
As I spin in death throes
Crying out my eyes for the show
That no one came to see

A lonely pirouette
I won't live with regrets
My life ain't over yet
But I still need comforting
My beginnings

Then you came into my life
I don't know when or how or why
But you were the company that I need
To silence grief's seed

You are the only thing
That allows me to sing
Dancing through tragedy
To find my angel wings

So I danced to the light
I gave my all, I did it right
I never saw you were my friend
Up until the very end

And after all
You played your part

I will protect you
I won't neglect you
I can't forget you
Never reject you

So I dance

Balancing on my toes
As I spin in death throes
Broad smile on my face for the show
I put on just for me

My lonely pirouette
I dance away my debt
A joy you can't detect
As I die comfortably
No eulogy

Balancing on my toes
Stumbling any way I go
Practicing my dance for the show
My parents want to see

My perfect pirouette
A wasted dance move set
I haven't used it yet
They never got to see
The dancer in me
