Dancer
You wanted a dancer, I had two left feet
You wanted magic, I wanted concrete
You wanted a princess, spinnin' 'round in a box
You wanted everything, God knows, I'm not
Some version of me I tried so hard to be (I tried so hard to be)
She'll glide across the stage with the lights in her face
Your favorite song plays while she smiles through the pain
When the show's all over, makeup's on the floor
Along with her tears behind a locked bathroom door
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymore
You had me on a string, I didn't want it to break
You grabbed all my dreams and changed all the shapes
And I thought I could do it live in your dark
You'll find someone new who would die for that part
And she'll glide across the stage with the lights in her face
Your favorite song plays while she smiles through the pain
When the show's all over, makeup's on the floor
Along with her tears behind a locked bathroom door
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymore
Oh, I ain't dizzy anymore
I ain't blistered and sore
I hate walking away
But these beat-up slippers took all they could take
Let her glide across the stage with the lights in her face
Your favorite song plays while she smiles through the pain
When the show's all over, she's not so sure
What's it all for behind a locked bathroom door?
You wanted a dancer...
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymore
(I don't dance, I won't dance)
I don't dance anymore
(I don't dance, I won't dance)
I don't dance anymore
You wanted magic, I wanted concrete
You wanted a princess, spinnin' 'round in a box
You wanted everything, God knows, I'm not
Some version of me I tried so hard to be (I tried so hard to be)
She'll glide across the stage with the lights in her face
Your favorite song plays while she smiles through the pain
When the show's all over, makeup's on the floor
Along with her tears behind a locked bathroom door
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymore
You had me on a string, I didn't want it to break
You grabbed all my dreams and changed all the shapes
And I thought I could do it live in your dark
You'll find someone new who would die for that part
And she'll glide across the stage with the lights in her face
Your favorite song plays while she smiles through the pain
When the show's all over, makeup's on the floor
Along with her tears behind a locked bathroom door
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymore
Oh, I ain't dizzy anymore
I ain't blistered and sore
I hate walking away
But these beat-up slippers took all they could take
Let her glide across the stage with the lights in her face
Your favorite song plays while she smiles through the pain
When the show's all over, she's not so sure
What's it all for behind a locked bathroom door?
You wanted a dancer...
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymore
(I don't dance, I won't dance)
I don't dance anymore
(I don't dance, I won't dance)
I don't dance anymore
