I apologize in advance but darling I can't dance, I blame the curve of my two left feet. And I'm sorry that I have leave you here alone on this isolated ballroom floor but if you need me, I'll be smoking a cigarette on the other side of the door.

And I'm sorry that I can't give you what you want but I'm sure as hell trying. It's hard to dance like time doesn't exist because a part of me doesn't feel like dying. But I'm sure you can't tell because I'm smoking a cigarette and you're dancing with someone else to refrain from crying.

I apologize for my inability to change but I was raised to not be anyone's expectation. Believe me, I'm trying to give you the world,  but I can't so I smoke and drink in frustration. I even tried to dance with you for a little while but that was just a frenzy of miscoordination.

I'm sorry that I can't be what you need, it's just my two left and guarded head that's hindering me.

I'm trying but there's no saving me, I'm just a lost cause.
