Careless Whisper
Sarah Washington Lyrics

I Feel So Unsure
I lack confidence in our relationship

As i take your hand
I symbolically take control of our relationship

And lead you to the dance floor
And initiate what is meant to be a romantic moment.

As the music dies
As the moment reaches a peak of intensity, it comes to a close.

Something in your eyes
Your expression reveals that you share my feelings.

Calls to mind a silver screen
It brings to mind the idealized romantic drama portrayed in films.

And all its sad goodbyes
Which inevitably leads to a tragic conclusion characterized by loss.

I'm never gonna dance again
I've realized that my actions have permanently damaged our relationship.

Guilty feet have got no rhythm
I can no longer enjoy life with the same carefree attitude that I once had.

Though it's easy to pretend
Although I can try to deceive myself, I know in my heart the truth of our relationship.

I know you're not a fool
I recognize that you are aware of my intentions and true feelings.

I should have known better than to cheat a friend
I should never have betrayed your trust in me as a friend.

And waste a chance that i've been given
I had the opportunity for a meaningful relationship, and I foolishly squandered it.

So i'm never gonna dance again
I've lost your love, and as a result, I can no longer find joy in life.

The way i danced with you
In particular, I can never recapture the happiness I felt when I was with you.

Time can never mend
The damage that I have caused can never be fixed.

The careless whisper of a good friend
The act of sharing our feelings with each other was misguided and ruined our friendship.

To the heart and mind
On a personal level, our relationship was important to both of us.

Ignorance is kind
But now that we know the truth, it is difficult to deal with the pain.

There's no comfort in the truth
Although it would be easier to ignore what happened, in order to move on, we need to acknowledge what occurred.

Pain is all you'll find
Unfortunately, in that truth is only suffering.

Tonight the music seems so loud
The environment of the present moment just seems too much to bear.

I wish that we could lose this crowd
I wish we could retreat from the rest of the world and have a chance to work things out.

Maybe it's better this way
However, now that everything has played out, this separation may be for the best.

We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We have so much pain and anguish between us that communicating frankly with each other would only make things worse.

We could have been so good together
Given our initial connection, we really could have had something special.

We could have lived this dance forever
In an alternate universe, our romance could have stretched out into a lifetime of joy.

But now who's gonna dance with me
Being without you leaves me feeling broken and incomplete.

Please stay
I wish that you could still be with me.

Now that you've gone
Now that our relationship has fractured beyond repair.

Was what i did so wrong
I regret my actions that brought us to this state.

So wrong that you had to leave me alone
I understand why you left, but your absence makes me feel utterly alone.
