[Verse 1]
Shock shock, horror horror
If you really thought that
Growin' up would be easy
All that drama, drama
Can make you wanna, wanna
Lock your door and throw the key and...

[Pre-Chorus]
Hide away where you're safe
Where your heart doesn't break
If you're afraid, it's okay, it's okay

[Chorus]
Everybody's scared so dance in the dark
Da-dance in the dark, da-dance in the dark
Party with your fears, da-dance in the dark
Da-dance with the dark, da-dance in the dark
Everybody's scared so dance in the dark
Make, make it an art, da-dance in the dark (Dance in the dark)
Party with your fears, da-dance in the dark
Da-dance with the dark, da-dance in the dark (Dance in the dark)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Da-dance in the dark, da-dance in the dark

[Verse 2]
(You're hurtin', hurtin')
(Closin' the curtains)
(Wanna keep it a secret)
Can't keep it bottled
Pain is hard to swallow
You cross your heart without bleedin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Hide away where you're safe
Where your heart doesn't break
You're afraid, it's okay, it's okay

[Chorus]
Everybody's scared so dance in the dark
Da-dance in the dark, da-dance in the dark
Party with your fears, da-dance in the dark (Oh)
Da-dance with the dark, da-dance in the dark (In the dark)
Everybody's scared so dance in the dark
Make, make it an art, da-dance in the dark (Dance in the dark)
Party with your fears, da-dance in the dark
Da-dance with the dark, da-dance in the dark (Dance in the dark)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Da-dance in the dark, dancin' in the dark, dancin' in the dark
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Da-dance in the dark, da-dance in the–, dance in the–

[Bridge]
Everybody's scared so dance in the dark
Da-dance in the dark, da-dance in the dark
Party with your fears, da-dance in the dark
Da-dance with the dark, da-dance in the dark

[Chorus]
Everybody's scared so dance in the dark
Make, make it an art, da-dance in the dark
Party with your fears, da-dance in the dark
Da-dance with the dark, da-dance in the dark
