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 of the 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

a wasted chance that i've been given

so i'm never going to dance again

the way i danced with you

oh

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 going to 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

a wasted chance that i've been given

so i'm never going to dance again

the way i danced with you

oh

tonight the music seems so loud

i wish that we could lose this crowd

maybe it's better this way

we've hurt each other with the things we wanna say

we could have been so good together

we could have lived this dance forever

now who's going to dance with me

please stay

i'm never going to 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

a wasted chance that i've been given

so i'm never going to dance again

the way i danced with you

oh
