Careless Whisper
Seether Lyrics

I feel so unsure
The singer is uncertain about his actions

As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
He takes the listener by the hand and leads her to the dance floor

As the music dies
The music is ending

Something in your eyes
He notices something in the listener's eyes

Calls to mind a silver screen
Her eyes remind him of a movie screen

And all its sad goodbyes
This screen represents sad endings

I'm never gonna dance again
He's decided to never dance again

Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
His guilt makes it impossible to dance rhythmically

Though it's easy to pretend
It's easy to fake emotions

I know you're not a fool
He knows the listener is smart and perceptive

I should have known better than to cheat a friend
He regrets betraying a friend's trust

And waste the chance that I'd been given
He feels like he's wasted an opportunity

So I'm never gonna dance again
He's decided to give up dancing

The way I danced with you
He'll never dance the same way with anyone else

Time can never mend
Time can't heal all wounds

The careless whispers of a good friend
The friend's careless secrets caused harm

To the heart and mind
These whispers affect the emotions and thoughts

Ignorance is kind
Not knowing the truth may be easier to bear

There's no comfort in the truth
The truth can be painful

Pain is all you'll find
Knowing the truth brings only pain

What am I without your love
He questions who he is without the love of the listener

Tonight the music seems so loud
The music is overwhelming

I wish that we could lose the crowd
He wishes they could be alone

Maybe it's better this way
Perhaps it's for the best that they're apart

We'd hurt each other with the things we wanna say
Their honest words would cause more pain

We could have been so good together
They had potential for a great relationship

We could have lived this daze forever
They could have sustained this dreamlike state of love forever

Now, who's gonna dance with me?
He's alone and without a dance partner

Please stay
He begs the listener to stay
