Dancing In The Dirt

[Verse 1]
Why don't you love me? (Why don't you love me?)
I'm kinda lonely (I'm kinda lonely)
You showed me love the way you felt it
But I was unaffected

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gon' pack up my clothes (Clothes)
Leave for the night (Night)
Say what you want (Want)
Flames on the fire
You never showed me you can love somebody else like yourself

[Chorus]
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see

[Verse 2]
Remember you told me (Remember you told me)
We're building a home for forty-two
You never felt, you just pretended
Like I'd be unaffected

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just like the moon (Moon)
We turned the tide (Tide)
For a moment or two (Two)
We might survive
You never showed me you can love somebody better than yourself

[Chorus]
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see

[Bridge]
And I didn't know it
Been afraid to show it
Touch a mirror, hold me close

[Chorus]
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone and I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
