AN ANGRY SILENCE LAY, WHERE LOVE HAD BEEN
AN IN YOUR EYES A LOOK, I'VE NEVER SEEN
IF I HAVE FOUND THE WORDS, YOU MIGHT HAVE STAYED
BUT AS I TURN 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 FAINTEST SIGHT I SAW
HE'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.
