[bracketed] 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

[bracketed] 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

[bracketed] 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

[bracketed] 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

[bracketed] and as i lost your love
