My Last Dance with Heartache

The old jukebox is still playing The slow song we once knew. I see your shadow in the corner, But I know it isn't you. I spent so many nights remembering everything we Couldn't save. Tonight I'm letting go of yesterday and walking From the grave. I've danced with this old sorrow until my feet Could barely move. But tonight the music sounds different, Like I've got something left to prove. This is my last dance with heartache, My last slow step with pain. I cried beneath these midnight skies. I walked through endless rain. I thank the blues for teaching me, Then leave them on the floor. This is my last dance with heartache. I don't wanna dance anymore. Your memory still knows my doorway, But I won't invite it in. I've carried all your broken promises longer than I Should have been. The old guitar keeps crying, but its voice don't Hurt the same. Somewhere between the final chord and sunrise, I change my name. Let the record keep on turning. Let the last note disappear. I've given enough of my tomorrow To the ghosts of yesterday's tears. I won't erase the love we shared. I won't pretend it wasn't true. I simply leave the heartache here And walk into something new. This is my last dance with heartache, The last tear I have to hide. I've learned that losing someone doesn't mean I lose My life. The blues can keep the memories. The night can keep the rain. This is my last dance with heartache, And I'm walking free again. The jukebox slowly fades out. Morning shines across the floor. I leave the dance behind me, And I don't look back anymore.
