Dancing On Eggshells

I danced on eggshells year after year ‘Til all that remained was sand Still you wonder how we ever got here. Paths strewn with landmines, shrapnel and fear You won't hold me or reach for my hand I danced on eggshells year after year Emotional cruise control set in fifth gear So sure of your map of the land Still you wonder how we ever got here “You don’t really feel, think or be that way, dear” My smolder threatened flames when you fanned I danced on eggshells year after year. Protestations of reverence belied by your sneer While insisting that all was just grand Still you wonder how we ever got here. For too long preachy voices were all I could hear Divorce seals your fate as one damned But my soul starved of love groaned and sighed my mind clear I danced on eggshells year after year Still you wonder how we ever got here.
