Lyrics
And We Danced by Julia Messenger
Saw you just the other day
You looked right through me and turned away
And you don't answer when I call
So I'm not important anymore
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
Are you a reflection of me?
So I am me and you are too
I share this here and now with you
And we danced, danced, danced
So what's the deal?
Do you like what you see?
I protect myself from life so well
Seek approval from father
Do you want me to play the game?
I do not want what I once knew
My blood your blood it's all the same
And if you're blind I'm happy for you
Coz sometimes ignorance is bliss
I know I should have read the signs
A small oversight of intelligence
And we danced, danced, danced
So what's the deal?
Do you like what you see?
I protect myself from life so well
I remember our first night
When I held you in my arms
A picture of all innocence
And look at us now
I find myself in darkness
In the face of you
And you understand the forces
More than you let show
And we danced, danced, danced
So what's the deal?
Do you like what you see?
I protect myself from life so well
