everybody's dancing and i want to die

i had a plan at 10 years old

to try my best do as i'm told

but that don't catch the pretty peoples' eye

i didn't have the coolest hair

the newest clothes or the richest parents

so i sat alone as the pretty girls walked by

i tried my best at making jokes

only to trip over my words and choke

so i ran back home and stayed inside my room

i swore i'd never go back alive

shallow talk breeds shallow minds

but that was just a jealous boy's excuse

'cause everybody's dancing and i don't feel the same

this room is full of people who barely know my name

and i don't feel like dancing on my own again

another year without a friend

another year when i just close my eyes and dance inside my head

with age comes insecurity

embarrassment and tragedy

increasing fear of growing old lonely. i said i'd put on my dancing shoes

but i've got two left feet and no good moves

and the pretty girls found cooler kids than me. so i sat and waited patiently until the day i'd finally be asked

but it never came

no

it never came!

'cause everybody's dancing and i don't feel the same

this room is full of people who barely know my name

and i don't feel like dancing on my own again

another year without a friend

another year when i just close my eyes and dance inside my head

and i found it hard to take some time out of the days that i spent wishing i could be

anyone but me

'cause everybody's dancing and i don't feel the same

this room is full of people who barely know my name

'cause everybody's dancing and i don't feel the same

this room is full of people who barely know my name

and i don't feel like dancing on my own again

another year without a friend

another year when i just close my eyes and dance inside my

another year when i just close my eyes and dance inside my head
