[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
(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)

[Chorus]
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
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 dancin' alone (mhm)
Toes bleedin' 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
And now she's dancing alone

[Post-Chorus]
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)

[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
And now she's dancing alone
