Empty Ballroom Floor

Salty tears alone on an empty ballroom floor
All her hopes, her dreams, accompanied him through the door.
The sudden shot of a gun echoes off the secrets of the walls
And all that's heard as her hopeless body falls
Her beautiful smiles hid a clandestined heart
And the anguish in her eyes smothered hope for a new start
She made it her goal to hide her brokeness from her friends
Neither they nor the girl knew how this story would end
What ended as a tragedy was meant to be a fairytale
The flawless, strong girl is now blotched, broken, and frail
She fought for that boy, lived and breathed for that boy
He didn't understand so now she dies for that boy
Salty tears mix with warm blood on an empty ballroom floor
As her torn and screaming soul accompanies him through the door
