The Music Played

An angry silence lay where love had been

And in your eyes a look I'd 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 sat and watched you walk towards the door

I heard a friend of yours suggest you stayed

And as you took his hand, the music played

Across the darkened room the fatal signs I saw

You'd been something more than friends before

While 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.
