She works at a bar,
but she's too young to have a drink
Paying for her mother's alcohol and coloured pills
Never see her father, but he taught her the ballet
One night she packed her bags and ran away
(Ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancin' alone (mhm)
Toes bleedin' out on the floor (mhm)
Oh, now she's dancin' alone (mhm)
As she moves adagio (Whoa, oh oh)
Oh, oh, oh
She's beauty and grace, she's floating on stage
Her happiest days, with a smile on her face
Her memory stained, by the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone
Fetishized, by every man in town
Roses fill the opera (encore, encore)
Hypnotized, but when the curtain falls
She's only safe in the applause
(Ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancin' alone (mhm)
Toes bleedin' out on the floor (mhm)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves adagio (Whoa, oh oh)
She's beauty and grace, she's floating on stage
Her happiest days, with a smile on her face
Her memory stained, by the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone
And now she's dancing alone
Oh, now she's dancin' alone (mhm)
Toes bleedin' out on the floor (mhm)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves adagio (Whoa, oh oh)
She's beauty and grace, she's floating on stage
Her happiest days, with a smile on her face
Her memory stained, by the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone
