I won't bury you in the basement
As I've been known to do
I won't bludgeon your memory
Leave you crying out for truth

'Cause there's a song we sing together
A song of me and you
I was hoping we could fix it
Or at least just fiddle around with the tune

'Cause you go right, I go left
You forward, I go back
And we're dancing this waltz alone

You go up and I go down
Lost our grip and now we've found ourselves
Dancing this waltz alone

Hush now don't cry, it's just a lullaby
I won't leave you, 'til you close your eyes
Hush now don't cry, it's just a lullaby
I'll tell you sweet lies, I won't leave your side

We were peaceful when we were sleeping
Or after we had a fight
We were civil when people were watching
And we were worst when we were right

'Cause you'd go in and I'd go out
And we'd forget what it's about
Dancing this waltz alone

You would smile and I'd frown
You gave it up, now who's the clown?
Dancing this waltz alone

Hush now don't cry, it's just a lullaby
I won't leave you,'til you close your eyes
Hush now don't cry, it's just a lullaby
I'll tell you sweet lies, I won't leave your side
