A song about not wanting to dance again after heartbreak. I started writing this song several months after my daughter died as a song about not wanting to write any more songs. It was a way for me to re-enter songwriting that felt honest. While I was writing it, we found out we were pregnant with another child. The thought of dancing with another baby through the night was unbearable. I didn't want anyone to occupy the space I held for Olivia in my heart. I also felt incredibly guilty for feeling that way. When Benjamin came, I realized there was a separate space for him--a whole world of joy and love. Olivia's space remains today.
I may write another song, maybe even the perfect one,
But it won't ever be the same.I may take another try, pick my feet up for another mile,
But it won't ever be the same.I don't want to dance again.
Tell the music not to play.
I can see her, I can feel her face.
I don't want to dance again.Seasons change and memories fade,
Tears dry, but scars remain,
Things are never gonna be the same.
