Dancing with Tears in My Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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]
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick
It's all my fault
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
[Verse 2]
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
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]
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick
It's all my fault
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
[Verse 2]
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]
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick, it's all my fault
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
[Bridge]
(Oh)
This is it and now you're really gone this time (Oh)
Never once thought I'd be in pieces, left behind
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick, it's all my fault
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
[Bridge]
(Oh)
This is it and now you're really gone this time (Oh)
Never once thought I'd be in pieces, left behind
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
About
Genius Annotation
In “Dancing With Tears In My Eyes”, Kesha admits she was the one to blame after a broken relationship.
The idea of dancing (which allegedly means happiness) is paradoxal to her tears (a physical reaction to sadness). The break-up causes her to lose herself and die inside, as she knows partying won’t save her, either.
