Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 the hole you find
[Verse 2]
I feel so unsure
As you take my hand and lead me to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all it's sad goodbyes
[Verse 3]
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
Should have known better than to cheat a friend
Wasted chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
[Verse 4]
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 the hole you find
[Verse 5]
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
Should have known better than to cheat a friend (Should have known better, yeah)
Wasted chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, ooh
[Verse 6]
Should have known better
[Verse 7]
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
But maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
[Verse 8]
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But love was gonna dance with me
Please stay
[Verse 9]
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
Should have known better than to cheat a friend (Should have known better, yeah)
Wasted chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
[Verse 10]
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
Why'd you have to leave me alone?
Mostly none
We lose this crowd
We could have been so good together
