Front row seat, I watched her shakin' Anxiously, her heart was breakin' Tiptoe, on way for class You got a second chance To show them how you dance Ballerina, ballerina The thinnest glass you danced upon Can't hold the weight of us Ballerina, ballerina Curtain call She leaves me breathless, standing tall With no defences They applaud her every scene But they don't see what I can see We share the same bruises on our feet Ballerina, ballerina The thinnest glass you danced upon Can't hold the weight of us Ballerina, ballerina Let it grow, let it split Teach the silence how to quit Heels down, hear the sound I'll be the thunder as you hit the ground No more shadows in the dark No more hiding who we are This is your last chance Go show him how you dance Ballerina, ballerina She's a dreamer, ooh One wrong move the floor might give But that's no way to live Ballerina, ballerina
