Dancing Alone

(Verse 1)

After the flash, the city exhales

Shoes in my hand, glitter in my hair

Fast love on my tongue, it tasted like smoke

Everybody laughing, nobody knows

I was a control freak with the night on pause

Holding my breath as the silence falls

(Pre-Chorus)

My ears ringing like a warning sign

Say less, I’m fine, yeah I’ll be alright

Out of the spotlight, the silence hits hard

When my car door closes, so does my guard

(Chorus)

Lights off, eyes open, staring at the ceiling

Makeup remover running down my feelings

Mirrorball heart still spinning in the dark

No applause necessary, this is the hardest part

Still dancing alone in a private room

With velvet static humming the truth

I shine all night, but I fade too soon

Lonely looks different when it’s just you

(Verse 2)

Hidden moments in the bathroom stall

Fixing my smile like nothing’s wrong

Bailing out early but staying too late

From conversations I don’t wanna say

Everybody thinks I love the noise

But quiet knows me, it calls my bluff

(Pre-Chorus)

Last call echoing in my chest

Say less, I’ll deal with the mess

Out of the spotlight, no one sees

How heavy the crown feels when it’s just me

(Chorus)

Lights off, eyes open, counting regrets

Makeup remover, erasing the best

Mirrorball heart cracked but it still reflects

No applause necessary, I’m not done yet

Still dancing alone in a private room

With velvet static stuck in my bones

I light up rooms, then I go numb too

Lonely looks louder when it’s just you

(Bridge)

Fast love fades when the music dies

Control freak trying not to cry

Bailing out of who I was tonight

But I can’t outrun the quiet

After the flash, there’s no disguise

(Final Chorus / Outro)

Lights off, eyes open, breathing it in

Makeup remover, let the truth win

Mirrorball heart learning how to rest

No applause necessary, I survived the test

Still dancing—yeah, I always do

But tonight I finally feel it too

Out of the spotlight, honest and blue

Lonely looks real when it’s just you
