Dancing with Tears in My Eyes Lyrics – Kesha
Dancing with Tears in My Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kesha]
Here we go, welcome to my funeral
Without you, I don't even have a pulse
All alone, it's dark and cold
With every move, I die
Here I go, this is my confessional
A lost cause, nobody can save my soul
I am so delusional
With every move, I die
[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick
It's all my fault
[Chorus: Kesha]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losing it (Losing it, losing it, losing it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losing it (Losing it, losing it, losing it)
With every move, I die
[Verse 2: Kesha]
When did I become such a hypocrite?
Double life, lies that you caught me in
Trust me, I'm paying for it
With every move, I die
On the floor, I'm just a zombie
Who I am is not who I wanna be
I'm such a tragedy
With every move, I die
[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick, it's all my fault
[Chorus: Kesha]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losing it (Losing it, losing it, losing it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losing it (Losing it, losing it, losing it)
With every move, I die
[Bridge: Kesha]
(Oh)
This is it and
Now you're really gone this time (Oh)
Never once thought I'd be in pieces
Left behind
[Chorus: Kesha]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losing it (Losing it, losing it, losing it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losing it (Losing it, losing it, losing it)
With every move, I die
