Dance My Pain Away

Nobody knows
What a smile can hide
But tonight I move

Smile on my face, but my soul been tired
Phone full of names, still lonely at night
I say I'm good when they ask me twice
But inside my chest is a bag of ice
Some days I lose, some days I fight
Some days I pray just to make it to light
Mama's old radio on the kitchen shelf
Playing the songs that I play for myself

But when that log drum enters my chest
I forget the weight, I forget the rest
One small prayer and I move my legs
God, if You hear me, answer the rest

I dance my pain away
Tears in my eyes
Let the log drum explain
I dance my pain away

Away, away (I move)
Away, away (I heal)
Away, away (I move)
The pain is real

I lost some people I still can't replace
I keep their numbers, I can't erase
But the beat comes in like a hand on my back
And I find my breath where the floor is packed
Don't ask me why my eyes look wet
Some things the heart cannot forget
I'm not finished, I'm not done yet
I'm still alive, so I still step

I dance my pain away
Tears in my eyes
Let the log drum explain
I dance my pain away

Their numbers still saved in my phone
I call one just to hear the tone
Then I put it down and I rise
With the bassline under my eyes

I dance my pain away
Tears in my eyes
The log drum says I'll stay
I dance my pain away

Away, away
Tonight I dance
