Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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 its sad goodbyes

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 a chance that I'd been given

So I'm never gonna dance again the way I 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 that you'll find

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 a chance that I'd been given

So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you

...

Never without your love

...

Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this 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 lived this dance forever

But now who's gonna dance with me?

Please, stay

And 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 a chance that I'd been given

So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you

...

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?

...
