Cry on the Dance Floor Lyrics by Paloma Faith

The Glorification of Sadness

2024

[Verse 1]
I was born a little different, I was bruised and broken
All I know is when I die, I will turn to dust
See me laughing, see me smiling, leave the rest unspoken
Always looking for the love, what about the lust?
[Pre-Chorus]
So I go where no one knows my story
Wear my sadness in all of its glory
Shadows cover faces in a room full of strangers
I let 'em roll
[Chorus]
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor
I'll be damned if I ever go home
Let me cry, let me cry on thе dance floor
Don't wanna hear nothing too slow
Sometimеs it hurts to be alive
See the pain pour from my eyes
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor
Can't take another night on my own
[Drop]
[Verse 2]
Hit as hard as you like, you won't keep me buried (Keep me buried)
All the tears runnin' down only help me grow (Help me grow)
When the weight of the world gets a little bit heavy (Gets so heavy)
There's only one place that I wanna let it show (Let it show, let it show, oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
So I go where no one knows my story
Wear my sadness in all of its glory
Shadows cover faces in a room full of strangers
I let 'em roll
[Chorus]
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor
I'll be damned if I ever go home
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor
Don't wanna hear nothing too slow
Sometimes it hurts to be alive
See the pain pour from my eyes
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor
Can't take another night on my own
[Drop]
[Bridge]
Hard as you like, you won't hit my threshold
Bury me deep as soon as my tears go
Rain down upon me, only ever gonna help me grow (Help me grow)
Hard as you like, you won't hit my threshold
Bury me deep as soon as my tears go
Rain down upon me, only ever gonna help me grow (Grow, grow, grow, grow)
[Chorus]
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor
I'll be damned if I ever go home (I'm never going home)
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor (Let me cry)
Don't wanna hear nothing too slow (Oh, not slow)
Sometimes it hurts to be alive
See the pain pour from my eyes
Let me cry, let me cry on the dance floor
Can't take another night on my own
[Drop]
