After the dance

After the dance is over and I'm alone
I sit by myself and wonder who's taking you home
It could have been oh so different, I guess I'm just a fool
To live by a single promise, I couldn't play by the rules

Oh, we say we've ended, but we've just begun
And I keep pretending we're still in love
Over and over, still thinking of you
Dreams come true

So after the dance is over and I melt away
Don't laugh with your friends about me, cos I know what they'll say
My call never gets an answer, don't you hear it tonight
I watch as you close the curtains and then you turn down the lights

Oh, we say we've ended, but we've just begun
And I keep pretending we're still in love
Over and over, still thinking of you
Dreams come true

Oh, tell me what to say
Oh, tell me what to say, oh, oh

Oh, we say we've ended, but we've just begun
And I keep pretending we're still in love
Over and over, still thinking of you
I keep pretending that dreams can come true
Oh, they say our love affair never could last
I'm such a loser, don't live in the past
Cos love can blast, oh, oh
