Dancing by Myself

Intro

(Softly)

Dancing... by myself...

Verse

Empty floor, just me and the beat

Shoes scuffing hardwood, cold under my feet

Your song came on, like it always does

I sway to the rhythm, but it's never enough

Pre-chorus

Arms around nothing, holding the air

Steps that we practiced, now I'm solo there

The mirror don't lie, it's just one shadow moving

Feels like I'm losing what we had, proving

Chorus

Dancing by myself, oh-oh

In the quiet, where the memories grow

Twirling alone, tears on my cheek

Dancing by myself, too weak to speak

Dancing by myself (myself)

Dancing by myself, night after night

Verse

Crowd fades away, but I'm here in the glow

Phantom hands pulling me into the flow

La-la-laughing at jokes that you told

But the punchline's gone cold, leaving me old

Pre-chorus

Fading lights, but the hurt stays bright

One more spin, chasing wrong into right

The music slows down, like my breaking heart

We're worlds apart now, torn right from the start

Chorus

Dancing by myself, oh-oh

In the quiet, where the memories grow

Twirling alone, tears on my cheek

Dancing by myself, too weak to speak

Dancing by myself (myself)

Dancing by myself, night after night

Dancing by myself...

Bridge

(Ah-ah-ah) Why'd you leave me here?

Swirling in silence, drowning in fear

One last turn, then I'll let it all go

But tonight, I'm still...

Chorus

Dancing by myself, oh-oh (oh-oh)

In the quiet, where the memories grow

Twirling alone, tears on my cheek

Dancing by myself, too weak to speak

Dancing by myself

Dancing by myself

Dancing by myself...
