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