I feel so unsure as I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its goodbyes
 
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again the way I've danced with you
 
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind.
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all that you'll find
 
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe, it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay!
 
Now that you're gone. Now that you're gone.
Now that you're gone. I did so wrong, so wrong.
That you have to leave me alone.
