Careless Whisper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
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 you're its sad goodbye
[Chorus:]
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 that
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I dance with you, oh
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is king
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
If 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
Now who's gonna dance with me
Please dance
[Chorus]
