Arabesque

I can walk on air

And make it look so easy

But you're unaware

I am defying gravity

It's a sad duet

I can't get free of it

In this pirouette

The steps are dancing me

So now

This is my last arabesque

I can't hold on

I did my best

I can't perfrom for your applause

Or be someone I never was

Soft good

But holding my breath

This is my last arabesque

It's all smoke and mirrors

And puling back my hair

It's all held so tight

That I am not really there

This is not my show

Even though it pleases you

So let the curtains close

There is nothing left to do

So now

This is my last arabesque

I can't hold on

I did my best

I can't perfrom for your applause

Or be someone I never was

Soft good

But holding my breath

This is my last arabesque
