While they were dancing I was crying

While they were laughing my world fell apart

I had all of my life left before me

Not some game in a penny arcade

I had all of my future ahead

When you tore it up with the lies that you said



While they were dancing it started to rain

No raindrops from heaven can wash away my pain

I had all of my life left to live for

Not some game in a penny arcade

I had all of my future ahead

When you tore it up with the lies that you said



Cover up my shame seemed so simple

Cover up my sorrow that was so hard

Cover up your crime reckless and cruel

I could die in this place without you...



Oh I survive by the minute

How could everything right

Turn out so wrong



Hey, you parade in the half light

Where you buried the love

Our sacred love

Precious and real, you promised me!



While they were dancing the angels were watching

Wept for my soul when my heart turned to stone

I had all of my life left to live for

Not some game in a penny arcade

I had all of my future ahead

When you tore it up with the lies that you said



Oh I survive by the minute

Until my world

Comes crashing down...



Hey, you preside in the half light

Where you buried the love

Our sacred love

Precious and real, you promised me!



While they were dancing I was crying

While they were laughing it started to rain

Yeah, it started to rain...
