Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
This mess we make
These hearts we break
Used to have memorized
The lines on your face
I hate the silence
The empty space
The things we left behind
Things we misplaced

[Pre-Chorus]
Lost and alone, I know the feeling
Thought I was dancing on the ceiling
But I'm just dancing in the cold
I guess life has got a funny sort of way
Of taking your breath away
Life has got a funny way of saying

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna dance for you
I know that you want me to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost
I'm not gonna dance for you
Not like I used to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost

[Post-Chorus]
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost

[Verse 2]
Straight to the point
But nothing to prove
Give it all away
Nothing to lose
I can almost feel you
Hear you through the walls
Tried to enjoy the view
Try not to fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Lost and alone, I know the feeling
Thought I was dancing on the ceiling
But I'm just dancing in the cold
I guess life has got a funny sort of way
Of taking your breath away
Life has got a funny way of saying

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna dance for you
I know that you want me to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost
I'm not gonna dance for you
Not like I used to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost

[Post-Chorus]
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost

[Bridge]
Seems like every time I open my mouth
Nothing really ever comes out
Tripping over my tongue
Miss before I even strung
I guess I'm trying to say that
If you want to you can stay

[Chorus]
But I'm not gonna dance for you
I know that you want me to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost
I'm not gonna dance for you
Not like I used to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost
I'm not gonna dance for you
I know that you want me to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost
I'm not gonna dance for you
Not like I used to
Better to dance alone
Than to dance with a ghost

[Post-Chorus]
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost
Dance with a ghost
