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 feel so unsure   As you take my hand   and lead me to the dance floor  As the music dies  Something in your eyes  Calls to mind a silver screen  And you're its sad goodbye    [Chorus:]  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  Should have known better that  to cheat a friend  And waste the chance that I've been given  So I'm never gonna dance again  The way I dance with you, oh    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    [Chorus]    [Bridge:]  Tonight the music seems so loud  I wish that we could lose this crowd   Maybe it's better this way  If 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  Now who's gonna dance with me  Please dance    [Chorus]
