About

Keep dancing while it hurts.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I put my good shoes on tonight

Red lipstick, neon lights

Everybody thinks I'm doing fine

I learned to fake it right on time

I know the words, I know the moves

I know exactly what to do

Laugh a little, turn around

Never let them see me coming down

Pre-Chorus

And if you ask me, I'll say I'm good

Like I always said I would

There's a little voice inside my head

Saying, "Girl, you ain't fooling me yet"

Chorus

So I keep dancing while it hurts

Keep smiling like it doesn't work

Turn the music up, let it drown me out

Nobody has to know I'm breaking down

Oh, I'm dancing, dancing

Like I'm finally free

But there's a part of me

Still begging me to leave

If happiness is just a show tonight

Then baby, watch me do it right

I'm dancing while it hurts

I'm dancing while it hurts

Verse 2

My friends are taking photographs

I'm throwing my head back when I laugh

But somewhere underneath the flash

I'm wondering how long this can last

I used to think I'd figure it out

Now I just know how to drown it out

One more drink, one more song

One more night pretending nothing's wrong

Pre-Chorus

And if you ask me, I'll say I'm good

Like everybody thinks I should

But there's a little voice inside my head

Saying, "You don't have to do this yet"

Chorus

So I keep dancing while it hurts

Keep smiling like it doesn't work

Turn the music up, let it drown me out

Nobody has to know I'm breaking down

Oh, I'm dancing, dancing

Like I'm finally free

But there's a part of me

Still begging me to leave

If happiness is just a show tonight

Then baby, watch me do it right

I'm dancing while it hurts

I'm dancing while it hurts

Bridge

Maybe I don't need to hide it

Maybe I don't need to fight it

Maybe broken doesn't mean

I'm not allowed to feel the beat

So let it hurt

Let it hurt

I can cry when the lights go out

But right now.....

Final Chorus

I'm still dancing while it hurts

Still wearing glitter on my shirt

Turn the music up, let it shake me now

Maybe I don't have to figure it out

Oh, I'm dancing, dancing

And I'm finally free

Not because I'm healed

But because I'm still me

If happiness is just a show tonight

Then maybe I can make it mine

I'm dancing while it hurts

Yeah, I'm dancing while it hurts

Outro

Tomorrow I might fall apart

But tonight, I'm dancing with my heart.
