I was yours and you were mine

Smoke and mirrors and rolled up bills
We had it all and then more still
But it was not enough to last forever

It was the last line
It was never as good as it felt
As it burst for the first time
Oh, but how we tried
Up til the last line

Hopes and dreams and promises

But blinded by the disco ball
Locked inside the bathroom stall

It was the last line
You were never as sweet as you were
When we kissed for the first time
Oh, but how we tried
Up til the last line

Searching for a speck of dust
Just enough for both of us
I knew our love was over
You couldn't share

It was the last line
It was never as good as it felt
As it burst for the first time
Oh, but how we tried
Up til the last line

Oh, how we tried
Up til the last line
