I can stand here in the corner Waiting 'til the walls come down And fade away without a sound So I make my way out of the shadows Make my way into the crowd Let them think it's all good now Dancing with tears in my eyes With every step my heart wants to cry Under this smile it's been hurting a while The sadness and trouble I'm dancing with tears in my eyes I wanna stay out 'til the morning Talking to a girl or two The ones that make me think of you And although I tried, it don't do anything for me It's just a way to pass the time A way to occupy my mind And I know, I can fool them with a drink and a joke Here I go I'm praying that the damage won't show Here I go Dancing with tears in my eyes With every step my heart wants to cry Under this smile it's been hurting a while The sadness and trouble I'm dancing with tears in my eyes I'll light this cigarette in my hand I'll blow smoke so you can see how I am, how I am Dancing with tears in my eyes With every step my heart wants to cry Under this smile it's been hurting a while The sadness and trouble I'm dancing with tears in my eyes Now you're not here
