[Verse 1]
I don't get the love I need anymore
I don't get the love I need anymore
I'm feeling sick of independence
I don't get the love I need anymore
I don't get the love, I walked out the door
Won't let you carry out my sentence

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, the writing was clear, it appeared on the wall
We were broken and scared, unprepared for the fall
It's true, I couldn't keep waiting on you
And I know that you're hurt, and I know that you tried
But I'll go it alone if I can't satisfy your view
Why live a life I wasn't meant to?

[Chorus 1]
But they told me, "Dance"
Keep playing the game
Press start, continue
Look within you, without you
Begin to advance
As far as you can, till' you lose your winnings
Find new beginnings
Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 2]
I don't get the love I need anymore
I'm cast out to sea, I can't find the shore
Don't really know what I was thinking, oh, oh, oh
I don't get the love I need anymore
I'm not even sure what I'm searching for
I hear a melody and I start singing

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am lost in a dream, I can't open my eyes
Never told how to live after I say goodbye to you
They tell me find another darling, oh
How can I find a love when I can't find myself?
Well, they set me adrift made me think when I jumped, I flew
But this just feels like I'm falling

[Chorus 2]
And they told me, "Dance"
Follow the rules, the next objective
Feel defective
Select a brand new circumstance
Make lovers of fools
Go through the motions, to feel connected
Without them, you're broken
