It's not easy to be somewhere that you never dreamed to be To be open is probably the hardest thing All the people in a room I didn't know All around me, I began to let it go Well, I thought that I could keep myself together But I fell apart when you walked through the door And now my eyes are looking like the weather I'm crying on the dancefloor I looked at you and felt that for a moment Thought of all the ways that it's not anymore It's not the moment that I would've chosen But now I'm crying on the dancefloor Would you believe me If I told you that you never left my mind? I keep repeating those words that you did not decide, no All the people in a room I didn't know All around me, I began to let it go Well, I thought that I could keep myself together But I fell apart when you walked through the door And now my eyes are looking like the weather I'm crying on the dancefloor I looked at you and felt that for a moment Thought of all the ways that it's not anymore It's not the moment that I would've chosen But now I'm crying on the dancefloor Well, I thought that I could keep myself together But I fell apart when you walked through the door And now my eyes are looking like the weather I'm crying on the dancefloor I looked at you and felt that for a moment Thought of all the ways that it's not anymore It's not the moment that I would've chosen But now I'm crying on the dancefloor
