So let the dance crumble

We were tangled in a rhythm that was never really ours
A perfect, hollow waltz inside a room of dying stars
Ten years of spinning gently just to keep the glass unbroken
Every step a whisper, every silence left unspoken
The gilded cage was beautiful, but beauty isn't kind
And when the floor began to crack, I didn't press rewind

So let the dance crumble, let the chandelier come down
I'm dancing barefoot through the wreckage, not a single frown
The music box was poison and the melody was cheap
I'm glad the tempo's shattered, glad the wounds are finally deep
I'm spinning in the ashes like a match that's found its flame
This ten-year lie is over, and I'll never taste the shame

You reach for me like muscle memory, a ghost of old design
But my body's already humming to a rhythm that's purely mine
The mirror's cracked, and honestly, the fragments suit me better
I was choking on the grace of every dutiful, slow letter
So let the floor cave in, I'm lighter now, and standing tall
This dance was doomed from the first step — I regret nothing at all

So let the dance crumble, let the chandelier come down
I'm dancing barefoot through the wreckage, not a single frown
The music box was poison and the melody was cheap
I'm glad the tempo's shattered, glad the wounds are finally deep
I'm spinning in the ashes like a match that's found its flame
This ten-year lie is over, and I'll never taste the shame
