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
Dark is sad goodbyes

So 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
Shoulda known better
Than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time will never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
But there's no comfort in the truth
Pain is the heart you find

So 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
Shoulda known better
Than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

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

So 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
Shoulda known better
Than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
