Bitter Dance Again

Intro

Oh

Oh lord

Mm-mm

Chorus

Don't let her back inside

Keep those rusty gates closed tight

She's coming round the bend

Looking for a lonely friend

Please keep her far away

Keep her far away from you

Far away from here

Verse 1

Old feelings blooming wild

Like a reckless wayward child

The peace I built is starting to crack

Staring at a ghost across the track

I was almost through the worst

Breaking from that velvet curse

Pre-Chorus

Lord I'm praying that she changed

Everything is rearranged

Block the entry to my mind

Leaving every fear behind

Chorus

Don't let her back inside

Keep those rusty gates closed tight

She's coming round the bend

Looking for a lonely friend

Please keep her far away

Keep her far away from you

Far away from here

Verse 2

Don't walk toward that open door

I've seen this bitter dance before

Hard to stay and harder to avoid

Watching every bridge I've ever deployed

Cold winds blow against the glass

Watching all my better angels pass

Pre-Chorus

Lord I'm praying that she changed

Everything is rearranged

Block the entry to my mind

Leaving every fear behind

Bridge

Maybe she won't

Maybe she will

Maybe she stays for the kill

I cannot get into it again

Never get into it again

Don't get into it

Chorus

Don't let her back inside

Keep those rusty gates closed tight

She's coming round the bend

Looking for a lonely friend

Please keep her far away

Keep her far away from you

Far away from here
