Lyric

I’m just a little girl dressed in a costume, don’t you see?

Feeling like a star, the spotlight’s shining on me

I feel so pretty when I hide this way

But when I take it off, the fear won’t stay away

’Cause I feel ugly when I face the glass

Who’s the real me staring back at last?

Makeup and wigs cover all my scars

Someday I’ll find who I really are

Dance, dance to the rhythm of the band

Lose myself tonight, forget where I stand

Under the mask, I wanna break free

Searching for the real inside of me

Laughing with friends, their voices shine

The city lights are glowing, everything’s fine

So let’s forget and dance away the pain

My costume shields me again and again

A secret no one else can know

But it’s okay, tonight I’ll let it go

The rhythm takes me, I can’t resist

Feels like magic, like it always did

Dance, dance to the rhythm of the band

Lose myself tonight, forget where I stand

Under the mask, I wanna break free

Searching for the real inside of me

Neon lights shining like a stage tonight

Spotlight glowing, I’m dressed in disguise

I sparkle outside but inside I cry

Hiding the tears from every eye

The mirror ball keeps spinning fast

In shining lights, I forget the past

But when this dance finally comes to an end

I’ll find the courage to be myself again

Dance, dance to the rhythm of the band

Like a magic spell until night is done

Under the mask, I wanna break free

Searching for the real inside of me

Even when the music stops, the light won’t fade

Inside my heart, the dance is still played

One day I’ll shine, no costume, no lies

Until that time, I’ll keep dancing tonight
