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 a silver screen and all it's sad goodbyes.
I'm never gonna dance again,
These guilty feet have got no rhythm,
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given,
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I 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 you'll find.
I'm never gonna dance again,
These guilty feet have got no rhythm,
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given,
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you.
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.
I'm never gonna dance again,
These guilty feet have got no rhythm,
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given,
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you.
