Don't Say No
The Whisper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everyone knows that we're through;
They see me alone broken hearted
Crying the blues for you.
It only hurts for a little while,
That's what they tell me, that's what they say.
It only hurts for a little while
It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart
But I don't know where to start forgetting you
What can I do?
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me, "Just wait and se."
But I will hurt, 'til you come back to me.
It only hurts for a little while,
That's what they tell me, that's what they say.
It only hurts for a little while
Then all your heartaches will pass away.
It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart
But I don't know where to start forgetting you

I feel so unsure
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 good-byes
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
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Time can never mend
The careless whispers 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'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend (should've known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
And 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
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?

Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?
