One Less Victory

Deep in this hollow shell, below the conscious
You saw something more worthwhile in me
Tainted with too much self, a self too precious
I never tried to earn your belief
Now the truth hits home, a slap in the face
You really had to find your own space

I'm gonna dance away the hurt inside
I'm gonna dance away, babe
Threw my chance away, one more love denied
One less victory to claim, victory to claim

I could not find the grace in soul of mine
But you must have seen some trace in me
You lived with this bitter taste time after time
I know that you need someone more complete
Who's gonna take the blame, I know I should
And learn through this sense of shame some good

I'm gonna dance away the hurt inside
I'm gonna dance away, babe
Threw my chance away, one more love denied
One less victory to claim, victory to claim

Who's gonna take the blame, I know I should
And learn through this sense of shame some good

I'm gonna dance away the hurt inside
I'm gonna dance away, babe
Threw my chance away, one more love denied
One less victory to claim, victory to claim

Threw my chance away, one more love denied
One less victory to claim, victory to claim
