[Verse 1]
She works at a bar
But she's too young to have a drink
Paying for her mother's alcohol
And colored pills
Never see her father
But he taught her the ballet
One night she packed her bags and ran away

[Pre-Chorus]
(ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (mhm)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves adagio (whoa, oh oh)

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
And now she's dancing alone
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
(ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (oh, oh, oh)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (ooh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves adagio (whoa, oh oh)

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
And now she's dancing alone
[Bridge]
(ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (oh, oh, oh)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (ooh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves adagio (whoa, oh oh)

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
And now she's dancing alone (ooh)
