Lyrics

Yesterday, well it seemed so cool

When I walked you home, kissed goodnight

I said it's love, you said all right

It's funny how I could never cry

Until tonight and you pass by

Hand in hand with another guy

You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the tears

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the fear

Dance away

Loneliness is a crowded room

Full of open hearts turned to stone

All together, all alone

All at once my whole world had changed

Now I'm in the dark, off the wall

Let the strobe light up the wall

I close my eyes and dance till dawn

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the tears

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the fear

Dance away

Dance away

Dance away

Now I know I must walk the line

Until I find an open door

Off the street or onto the floor

There was I, many times a fool

I hope and pray but not too much

Out of reach is out of touch

All the way is far enough

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the tears

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the fears

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the tears

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the fears

Dance away the heartache

Dance away the tears

Dance away the heartache
