Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you ever lost, lost the light in your life?
Have you ever left, left yourself behind?
Have you ever lied and just replied, "I'm fine"?
'Cause I can see you've lost, lost the light in your life
[PreChorus]
Wanna run like your mascara
Wine-stained lips talking to the mirror
If the sun comes up, don't even care at all
[Chorus]
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they're gonna dry
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
[Verse 2]
If love has left you with, with a question mark
If trust has left you falling in nobody's arms
[PreChorus]
If you wanna hide like your emotions
Heart can't break, it's already broken
If the sun comes up, don't even care at all
[Chorus]
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they're gonna dry
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
[Chorus]
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
[Bridge]
Wanna run like your mascara
Wine-stained lips talking to the mirror
If the sun comes up, don't even care at all
[Chorus]
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they're gonna dry
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
[Outro]
Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing
Just keep on dancing with those teary eyes
