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.

CHORUS:
I'm never gonna dance again,
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 the chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I've 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.

REPEAT CHORUS

Never without your love...

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose the 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 made this last forever...
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.

(Alternatively:
And now it's never gonna be
That way...)

REPEAT CHORUS

Now that you're gone...
Now that you're gone...
Now that you're gone...
Was what I did so wrong? (so wrong)
That you had to leave me alone?
