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
