Dancing on My Own Lyrics

Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
And there's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at, I bet she's around

And yeah, I know it's stupid
But I just gotta see it for myself

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh
And I'm giving it my all
I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own, ah

I just wanna dance all night
And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah
Stilettos and broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
And I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh, nah

So far away but still so near
The lights come on, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh, nah
Said, I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh no
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh no
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own

So far away, but still so near
The lights come on, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here

What is the Meaning of Dancing on My Own?

This poignant ballad underscores the anguish of unrequited love and the pain of watching someone you adore with another. The protagonist is a silent observer, trapped in his own emotions, witnessing his beloved in the arms of someone else. He's 'dancing on his own,' a metaphor for trying to cope with his feelings alone, despite being physically close to the object of his affections. The song beautifully captures the heart-wrenching paradox of being 'so far away but still so near.' It's a moving commentary on yearning, loneliness and longing for reciprocation that never comes. #UnrequitedLove #Loneliness
