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  goodbyes
 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  have known better than to cheat a friend
 And waste  a chance that i've 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
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  have known better than to cheat a friend
 And waste  a chance that i've been given
So  i'm never gonna dance again
 The way  i danced with you
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 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
 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  have known better than to cheat a friend
 And waste  a chance that i've been given
So  i'm never gonna dance again
 The way  i danced with you
Now  that you've gone
 Now that you've gone
Now  that you've gone
 Was what i did so wrong
 So wrong that you had to leave me alone
