“Dancing on My Own” is a tale of unrequited love through the lens of someone who’s done with being the sideline option.
Verse 1:
Oh the last time, was the last time
I’m tired of sitting by the phone
Always got me wondering, if it’s me or her
That you wanna take home
Time and time and time again, I go back and forth
With the thought of you
Once upon a time, you, would hear me say
There’s no me without you
Hook:
But I’m… going out tonight
Gotta get you… out my mind
Keep my feelings… so locked tight
Oh there’s no more, me or you
Nothing else, to say or do
Hate to say, that we’re through
And for the night…
You’re gonna be the lonely one
You’re gonna be the lonely one
Chorus:
Tonight, I’ll be dancing.. baby
I’ll be dancing on my own tonight
Verse 2:
Not one tear in my eye
Can’t let you see me die
Not one tear in my eye
Can’t let you see me cry
Oh baby, won’t you tell me
Why it’s me you never choose?
Forever on the sideline, but in the night time
It’s just me + you
Always tryna tell me, that you love me
But you’ll only dance with her
So I’m saying thank you, for the lesson learned
I’ll always put me first
Hook:
But I’m… going out tonight
Gotta get you… out my mind
Keep my feelings… so locked tight
Oh there’s no more, me or you
Nothing else, to say or do
Hate to say, that we’re through
And for the night…
You’re gonna be the lonely one
You’re gonna be the lonely one
Chorus:
Tonight, I’ll be dancing.. baby
I’ll be dancing on my own tonight
Bridge:
Once my beginning and my end
Heartbreak is a game, I always win
There’s no more sad songs over you
Not man enough to tell me were through
You always gonna do me wrong
You two-stepped all over my heart
Now I’m in the corner, standing all alone
Now I’m in the corner, dancing on my own
Oh baby
You wanna see cry
On the dance floor, i’m about to die
You left me, without a reason why
You left me, but you won’t see me cry
Chorus:
Tonight, I’ll be dancing.. baby
I’ll be dancing on my own tonight
