I can walk on air
And make it look so easy
But you're unaware
I am defying gravity
It's a sad duet
I can't get free of it
In this pirouette
The steps are dancing me
So now
This is my last arabesque
I can't hold on
I did my best
I can't perfrom for your applause
Or be someone I never was
So good at holding my breath
This is my last arabesque
It's all smoke and mirrors
And puling back my hair
It's all held so tight
That I am not really there
This is not my show
Even though it pleases you
So let the curtains close
There is nothing left to do
So now
This is my last arabesque
I can't hold on
I did my best
I can't perfrom for your applause
Or be someone I never was
So good at holding my breath
This is my last arabesque
