[Verse 1]
Stiff my upper lip, I gave all I could give
I guess I just wasn't made in His image (Made in His image)
Push me past my limits, granted all your wishes
Died for you, but I wasn't forgiven (Wasn't forgiven)

[Pre-Chorus]
Tip-toe, spinnin' around
Only words comin' out your mouth are

[Chorus]
Ballerina, won't you dance for me?
Lost her head, but, God, it's perfect
Ballerina, baby, can't you see?
It'll kill you, but it's worth it
Lose yourself once the curtains come down
I don't know who I am right now
Ballerina, cry your eyes out
But you're still gonna

[Post-Chorus]
Dance, d-d-d-d—, dance
(But you're still gonna) D-d-d-d-d—, dance (Ballerina)
D-d-d-d—, dance, d-d-d-d—

[Verse 2]
Holy water drippin', will somebody listen?
Broken body parts, was hopin' I could fix 'em
Bent and bleedin', so I could squeeze in
Your little tiny box for little tiny dancers
Ask me what it feels like, tell me how to answer
Bent and bleedin', but you still need your
[Chorus]
Ballerina, won't you dance for me?
Lost her head, but, God, it's perfect
Ballerina, baby, can't you see?
It'll kill you, but it's worth it
Lose yourself once the curtains come down
I don't know who I am right now
Ballerina, cry your eyes out
But you're still gonna

[Post-Chorus]
(Dance, d-d-d-d—, dance) But you're still gonna
(D-d-d-d-d—, dance, d-d-d-d-d—, dance) (Ballerina, ballerina)
But you're still gonna (Dance, d-d-d-d—, dance)
But you're still gonna (Dance, d-d-d-d—, dance) (Ballerina, ballerina)
(D-d-d-d—)

[Outro]
(Lose yourself once the curtains come down)
(I don't know who I am right now)
(Ballerina, cry your eyes out)
But you're still gonna
