Ballerina Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say "Don't light that cigarette"
I count from one to ten under my breath
I fight the feeling that I'm better, better, better off
I'm better, better when you're gone
You say I don't look good in black (Good in black)
I'm dressed up miserable and I like that (I like that)
I fight the feeling that I'm better, better, better off
I'm better, better when you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I can get a little bit high, I can gеt a little bit low
I can get a little bit crazy, I can gеt a little bit stoned
Little bit insecure, I can get a little bit lost
And it's a little too much for you
[Chorus]
But you can't hold me down, I ain't no ballerina
But I'll dance all night on my own
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
I ain't no perfect body but I feel like Marilyn Monroe
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
Yeah, you know the way, you see me in the way
I see me on an ultraviolet, and I keep on beaming
Ain't no ballerina, but I'll dance all night on my own
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
[Verse 2]
Think you're the reason I compare myself
You're doing damage to my mental health
Finally believing that I'm better, better, better off
I'm better, better when you're gone
At 3 am I'm in the darkest place (Darkest place)
Screaming my lungs out in the pillowcase (Pillowcase)
Got to remember that I'm better, better, better off
I'm better, better when you're gone
[Chorus]
But you can't hold me down, I ain't no ballerina
But I'll dance all night on my own
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
I ain't no perfect body but I feel like Marilyn Monroe
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
Yeah, you know the way, you see me in the way
I see me on an ultraviolet, and I keep on beaming
Ain't no ballerina, but I'll dance all night on my own
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I can get a little bit high, I can get a little bit low
I can get a little bit crazy, I can get a little bit stoned
Little bit insecure, I can get a little bit lost
And it's a little too much for you
[Chorus]
But you can't hold me down, I ain't no ballerina
But I'll dance all night on my own
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
I ain't no perfect body but I feel like Marilyn Monroe
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone
Yeah, you know the way, you see me in the way
I see me on an ultraviolet, and I keep on beaming
Ain't no ballerina, but I'll dance all night on my own
Better off when you're gone, better off when you're gone

it needs to be corrected to, "Yeah you know the way you see me ain't the way I see me, I'm on ultraviolet, and I keep on beaming"
