You held me up, held me down Made me crazy, then you brought me around Were my darkness and my light You were my blindness and my sight Were my shelter and my storm Made me cold then you made me warm You were my fever and my cure Made me doubt then you made me sure One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last You were my hope and my fears You were my laughter and my tears Were my destiny and my fate Kept me movin', you made me wait Were my weakness and my power You were the thorn and the flower You were my sunshine and the rain Made me feel so good, brought so much pain Now one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last And we were never really meant for each other We were never really meant to last In the years that we danced together Each step forward we took two steps back Each step forward we took two steps back Now one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last
