Time slips by in an empty cup
It's passing by, it's filling up
As the day went by that I loved her
To the wind I threw all caution
Believing that I knew her
I sunk my world into her now
And here I go again
Standing here on my own
And here I go again
Dancing life is alone
Don't wanna dance alone
Does true love make you immortal?
The feeling swells as you plunge deep within her
Sealing words in a whisper
How loud we scream when our bodies are in motion
You're damned when you give up your wants
I said you're damned when you give up your dreams
I said you're damned when you give all your trust
And she's not right there
I said next to me
I said here I go again
Standing here on my own
And here I go again
Dancing life is alone
Don't wanna tell you about it
Here I go again
Standing here on my own
And here I go again
Dancing life is alone
Don't wanna dance alone
Don't wanna dance alone
I said naked and empowered
Don't wanna dance alone
I said naked and devoured
Damn, waking from a dream of this lady
And now I see the things that remind me
I'd rather die than beg for affection
A piece of nothing is not what I live for
Damn, I can finally see why you're leaving
Everything you ever did had a reason
And now the reason's clear, you amaze me
I still believe in love, don't wanna dance alone
Don't wanna dance alone
The final slap of awakening
To the truth I wish I had listened
With love's bright light, I was blinded
But now I see 'cause my eyes are wide open
We're better off saying goodbye
I know we're better off saying goodbye
I think we're better off saying goodbye
I know we're better off saying goodbye
I'd rather dance alone
