Dancer Lyrics by Shelby Darrall

Melt - EP

0

[Verse 1]
You wanted a dancer, I had two left feet
You wanted magic, I wanted concrete
You wanted a princess, spinning 'round in a box
You wanted everything that God knows I'm not
Some version of me I tried so hard to be

[Chorus]
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, make up on the floor
Alone with her tears behind a locked bathroom door
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymorе

[Verse 2]
He had me on a string, I didn't want it to break
You grabbеd 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

[Chorus]
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, make up on the floor
Alone with her tears behind a locked bathroom door
You wanted a dancer, I don't dance anymore

[Bridge]
Oh I ain't dizzy anymore
I ain't blistered and sore
I am walking away
These beat up slippers took all they can take

[Chorus]
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 and I don't dance anymore

[Outro]
(I don't dance, no I won't dance)
I don't dance anymore
(I don't dance, I won't dance)
I don't danceanymore
