Album “Tango on a Wild & Rough Terrain”: 2. Tango on a Wild & Rough Terrain (Lyrics)

Lyrics by Petra Deeter

[Verse]

Late nights, smoky rooms, and whispers in the dark,

Caught you with another, oh it really left a mark,

But baby, don’t you worry ’bout the scars you made in haste,

You’ve revealed my hidden power, I won’t let my heart waste.

[Verse 2]

I’ve danced this tired tango on a wild and rough terrain,

But now I’m stepping solo, in the pouring heavy rain,

With every aching heartbeat, I find a brand new beat,

I’m fiercer, stronger, bolder—your betrayal’s my defeat.

[Chorus]

Oh I’d cry, but I’ve got strength to spare,

You can’t break a woman who’s already been there,

I’ll rise above, with a wink and a smile,

Honey, I’m resilient; I’ll survive this trial.

[Verse 3]

You thought your lies would drown me in a pool of bitter tears,

But sweetheart here I am, facing all my deepest fears,

I’m polished, schooled, and tempered by the fires of your deceit,

I’m a diamond, shining brightly, ain’t no stopping me.

[Bridge]

So take your sweet deceivin’ and your nights of shallow bliss,

I’m embracing all my freedom with a lover’s waking kiss,

You’ll find me in the moonlight, wrapped in silk and sweet perfume,

Dancing with my heartache, in a smoky, velvety room.

[Chorus]
