It's not a silly little moment, It's not the storm before the calm. This is the deep and dying breath of This love that we've been working on. Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms. Nobody's gonna come and save you, We pulled too many false alarms. We're going down, And you can see it too. We're going down, And you know that we're doomed. My dear, We're slow dancing in a burning room. I was the one you always dreamed of, You were the one I tried to draw. How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw. I'll make the most of all the sadness, You'll be a bitch because you can. You try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty 'Cause you can't understand. We're going down, And you can see it too. We're going down, And you know that we're doomed. My dear, We're slow dancing in a burning room. Go cry about it - why don't you? Go cry about it - why don't you? Go cry about it - why don't you? My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room, Burning room, Burning room, Burning room, Burning room. Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
I first added this song to the CFAU soundtrack for Chapter 16 - November 2030. It was quite intentional. It comes in full swing for the next chapter and it’s been fucking with my heart the past couple of days. Hurts. So much pain.
This entire song is just...LORDTTTTTTTT...there’s a scene where it all comes to a boil...where two years of frustration finally make Clarke S N A P...where The Ultimatum™ happens and their relationship almost ends...and these lyrics are just...so perfect...and if I ever see this scene acted by my dream cast and this song as a soundtrack I don’t know what I’d do but I’d probably lose my whole ass mind.
