The lights are out
A candle lit
You spin into the room in a fit
And blame me for the way it is
The fear behind your pirouette has gotta give
My ballerina
I watch you dance
My ballerina
Give our love a chance
You give the performance of your life
I am in awe of your meteoric rise
When you reach for the stars and they're not there
I'll break your fall
I'm the one who cares, yeah
My ballerina
I love your brise
My ballerina
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Curtains rise, curtains fall
I'll catch your tears and hold them all
Through your fear and your despair
I'm not going anywhere, yeah
My ballerina
I love you so, I love you so
My ballerina
More than you'll ever know, more than you'll ever know
My ballerina
Don't run away, don't run away, yeah
My ballerina
My ballerina
My ballerina
Please stay
