**Verse 1** The band is playin’ soft, but my heart plays loud, I’m dancing slow with someone new in the middle of a dancehall crowd, Everybody’s dancin’, but I can’t move right, Since you walked out on me into that blue moon night. **Chorus** It’s a dancehall kind of sadness, A slow burn hurt I can’t outrun. I’m holdin’ on to nothin’, But the song keeps playing on. You left me in the middle of the moonlight glow, Now I’m dancin’ with a heart that’s broke and slow. Oh, this dancehall kind of sadness, Ain’t no cure for what I know. **Verse 2** The bass still thumps like a heart on fire, But mine went cold when you said goodbye. Couples all around me move side to side, While I’m lost in the hurt that I keep inside. Your joy filled laughter still lingers in the smoke-filled air, Like a ghost I see but you’re never there. **Chorus** It’s a dancehall kind of sadness, A slow burn hurt I can’t outrun. I’m holdin’ on to nothin’, But the song keeps playing on. You left me in the middle of the moonlight glow, Now I’m dancin’ with a heart that’s broke and slow. Oh, this dancehall kind of sadness, Ain’t no cure for what I know. **Bridge** Let that accordion moan, let the frottoir cry, Let the old floor creak beneath my eyes. If I can’t have you, let the music take hold, And carry this heartbreak down the road. Final Chorus It’s a dancehall kind of sadness, A slow burn hurt I can’t outrun. I’m holdin’ on to nothin’, But the song keeps playing on. You left me in the middle of the moonlight glow, Now I’m dancin’ with a heart that’s broke and slow. Oh, this dancehall kind of sadness, Ain’t no cure for what I know. Outro Dancehall sadness... Dancin’ with the new you... ,,,,,and I am still all alone.., Yeah, you’re so far gone.
