Yesterday, when it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kiss goodnight
I said "it's love", you said "alright"
Its funny how, I could never cry
Until tonight, when you pass by
Hand-in-Hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill, and guess who's dying...

Dance away the heartache
Dance away, tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away, fears
Dance away...

Loneliness, is a crowded room
Full of open hearts, turned to stone
All together, all alone
All at once, my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
Lit the strobe light up the wall
I close my eyes, and dance til dawn

Dance away the heartache
Dance away, tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away, fears
Dance away...
Dance away...
Dance away...
