Song lyrics
It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of
this love we've been workin 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 to many false alarms

We're goin down
and you can see it too
We're goin down
and you know that we're doomed
my dear
we're slow dancing in a burnin room

I was the one you always dreamed of
you were the one i tried to draw
how dare you say it's nothin to me
baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I made the most of all the sadness
you'd be a bitch because you can
you try to hit me just hurt me
so you leave me feelin dirty cuz you can't understand

We're goin down
and you can see it too
We're goin down
and you know that we're doomed
my dear
we're slow dancing in a burnin 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 dancin in a burnin room
burnin room, burnin 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

This music is absolutly amazing. The lyrics are sad, which makes the song even more beautiful. Once again, John Mayer discribes with excelence a moment that soemwhere, we all go trought in our lives.
He's hust the most amazing singer, songwriter and guitarist of all times.
Luv him

Gosh what a tragedy. You got this couple that knows that it won't work. They tried and tried as much as they could and they did so much for each other, but it still isn't enough. And then we got the girl who's being "a bitch because she can". She wants to leave thinking it's someone's fault when they can't do anything about it. What a tragedy. I'll bet there are times when they see glimpses of the best of times, but then they eventually find out that it can't last. Maybe I will go cry about it ...

One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. I just heard it the other day and must have put it on repeat forty times. You can't help but hurt for these two. It's heartbreaking.
