Lyrics
[verse]
I'm in the corner watching you and her across the floor
You're holding her the way you used to hold me before
I came here thinking maybe I could let it go tonight
But everything about this feels so wrong, so out of sight
[verse]
Nobody knows that I'm the one who used to have your hand
Nobody knows the story, nobody would understand
I'm smiling through it, keeping every tear inside
Just moving to the music, trying to survive
[chorus]
I'm dancing on my own, dancing on my own
Watching you together but I'm dancing on my own
Somebody tell the DJ to play something slow
So I can pretend I've got somewhere else to go
I'm dancing on my own, I'm dancing on my own
Nobody has to know, nobody has to know
[verse]
I keep telling myself I'll leave before the song ends
But I stay a little longer just to watch the pretend
That I'm okay, that I'm fine, that I don't feel the ache
Dancing through the pieces I'm trying not to break
[chorus]
I'm dancing on my own, dancing on my own
Watching you together but I'm dancing on my own
Somebody tell the DJ to play something slow
So I can pretend I've got somewhere else to go
I'm dancing on my own, I'm dancing on my own
Nobody has to know, nobody has to know
[bridge]
In the lights, in the crowd
I'm smiling but it's loud inside
In the lights, in the crowd
I'm dancing till I don't feel so alone
[chorus]
I'm dancing on my own, dancing on my own
Watching you together but I'm dancing on my own
Somebody tell the DJ to play something slow
So I can pretend I've got somewhere else to go
