[Verse 1] Saw you under the strobes With him on your arm Same old look in your eyes Like you’d done me harm You kissed way too loud For the crowd to ignore But I knew that act I’d seen it before [Pre-Chorus] You kept pulling him close Like I’d feel the sting Trying hard to perform Like you won some thing But I read your face I know that game You wanted me breaking You wanted my shame [Chorus] sir Dance alone, sir dance alone BUDDY When I’m gone she don’t care sir Dance alone, sir dance alone you're just filling the air she's playing you for me Like a cheap little scene sir Dance alone, sir dance alone when im gone she aint even there [Verse 2] You spun him round fast With a grin on display Then you saw me look over And you leaned in the play All hands and fake smiles Trying hard to impress But the second I left You went back to less [Pre-Chorus] No more bright little poses No more stolen kiss Just a bored empty stare And a shrug in the mist He was right there with you Still you acted cold Like your new little story Was already old [Chorus] sir Dance alone, sir dance alone BUDDY When I’m gone she don’t care sir Dance alone, sir dance alone you're just filling the air she's playing you for me Like a cheap little scene sir Dance alone, sir dance alone when im gone she aint even there [Verse 3] Now I’m laughing to myself At the edge of the room ’Cause that same rejected face Was my heart in the bloom He’s pacing that floor While you slip through the crowd And I shake my head smiling Not saying it loud [Pre-Chorus] You can flash it to me You can sell that lie But I watched you leave him With a blank goodbye So go on, keep dancing Keep feeding the show I was once in his shoes Now I watch and I know [Chorus] sir Dance alone, sir dance alone BUDDY When I’m gone she don’t care sir Dance alone, sir dance alone youre just filling the air she's playing you for me Like a cheap little scene sir Dance alone, sir dance alone when im gone she aint even there [Outro] sir Dance sir alone, sir dance alone Yeah, I know that look sir Dance alone, sir dance alone I was there when you took Dance alone, dance alone Now the joke’s on him sir Dance alone, sir dance alone While the bass goes thin
