an angry silence stayed

where love had been

and in your eyes a look

i've never seen

if i had found the words

you might have stayed

but as i turned to

speak the music played

as lovers danced their

way around the floor

i suddenly watched you

walk towards the door

i heard a friend of

yours suggest you stay

and as you took his

hand the music played

across the darkened room

the fatal signs i saw

we'd been something more

than friends before

well i was hurting you

by clinging to my pride

he had been waiting and

i drove him to your side

i couldn't say the things

i should have said

refused to let my heart

control my head

but i was made to see

the price i paid

and as he held you

close the music played
