The Music Played Lyrics

[Verse 1]
An angry silence stayed where love had been
And in your eyes, a look I've never seen
If I had found the words, you might have stayed
But as I turned to speak, the music played

[Verse 2]
As lovers danced their way around the floor
I suddenly watched you walk towards the door
I heard a friend of yours suggest you stay
And as you took his hand, the music played

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Across the darkened room, the fatal signs I saw
We'd been something more than friends before
Well, I was hurting you by clinging to my pride
He had been waiting and I drove him to your side

[Verse 4]
I couldn't say the things I should have said
Refused to let my heart control my head
But I was made to see the price I paid
And as he held you close, the music played
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
And as I lost your love, the music played

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
