Careless Whisper
2Play Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
And all its sad goodbyes.
[CHORUS:]
Guilty feet have done my rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better then to cheat a friend,
And waste a chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again.
The way I danced with you.
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend.
To the heart and mind
If your answer's kind...
There's no comfort in the truth,
Pain is all you find.
[REPEAT CHORUS]
What am I without your love?
Tonight the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way
We've hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together
We could have lived forever...
But no, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Now that you're gone...
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
The song "Careless Whisper" by 2Play begins with the singer feeling unsure as he takes his partner's hand and leads her to the dance floor. But as the music fades away, he notices something in his partner's eyes that reminds him of the sad goodbyes seen on the silver screen. The chorus of the song expresses the singer's regret for cheating a friend and wasting the opportunity he had with his partner. He acknowledges that it's easy to pretend that things are fine, but deep down he knows that he can't dance like he used to with his partner.
The second verse of the song describes how time cannot heal the wounds caused by a careless whisper from a friend. Even if the answer is kind, there's no comfort in the truth, only pain. The singer repeats the chorus, again regretting his actions and acknowledging that he's lost his chance with his partner.
In the final verse, the singer wishes that he and his partner could be alone so they could sort things out between them. He laments that they could have been so good together and lived forever, but now his partner has gone and he's left alone. He questions whether his actions were so wrong that his partner had to leave him, leaving the song on a sad and regretful note.
Line by Line Meaning
I feel so unsure,
I am experiencing a sense of insecurity and doubt
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
I am taking your hand and bringing you to the dance floor
As the music dies...
As the music fades away
Something in your eyes,
I am noticing something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen,
It reminds me of a movie
And all its sad goodbyes.
With all the goodbyes that are sad
I'm never gonna dance again
I will never dance again
Guilty feet have done my rhythm.
My feet feel guilty, it affects my dancing
Though it's easy to pretend,
It may seem easy to feign
I know you're not a fool.
I realize you are not foolish
I should have known better then to cheat a friend,
I ought to have been aware of not deceiving a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given.
And I should not have wasted the opportunity I had
So I'm never gonna dance again.
Thus, I declare that I will never dance again
The way I danced with you.
In the same manner I invited you to dance with me
Time can never mend
The passage of time cannot heal
The careless whisper of a good friend.
The careless words between two good friends
To the heart and mind
To the emotional and intellectual aspects
If your answer's kind...
If you are responding truthfully and peacefully
There's no comfort in the truth,
The truth does not give comfort
Pain is all you find.
Instead, you only encounter pain
What am I without your love?
I am reflecting and asking what kind of person I am without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud,
The music appears so loud tonight
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
I wish that we could escape from this audience
Maybe it's better this way
Possibly, it is better for us to be separated
We've hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We have inflicted pain upon each other because of what we said
We could have been so good together
We had the potential to be great together
We could have lived forever...
We could have spent our lives together and thrived
But no, who's gonna dance with me?
Sadly, I am alone and nobody is there to dance with me
Please stay.
Please don't leave me alone
Now that you're gone...
Now that you're not here anymore
Was what I did so wrong?
Was my behavior so inappropriate and wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
So terrible that you had no choice but to leave me alone?
