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

and as i lost your love

the music played
