Careless Whisper
Dancing with Regret: Unraveling the Heartfelt Tale of Careless Whisper
Lyrics
I feel so unsure
I feel uncertain
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Taking your hand, leading to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
As the music fades, noticing something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
Evokes memories of the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
Reminds of the sad farewells from movies
I'm never gonna dance again
Deciding never to dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Feeling guilty, lacking a rhythmic connection
Though it's easy to pretend
Pretending is effortless, despite the reality
I know you're not a fool
Acknowledging you're not naive
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
Regretting cheating a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
Wasting a given opportunity
So I'm never gonna dance again
Committing to never dance as before
The way I danced with you
Referencing a past dance with you
Time can never mend
Time can't heal the whispers of a friend
The careless whispers of a good friend
Whispers affecting both heart and mind
To the heart and mind
Ignorance may be merciful
Ignorance is kind
No solace in harsh truths
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is the only outcome
Pain is all you'll find
Deciding never to dance again (repeated)
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet, lacking rhythm (repeated)
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Pretending remains easy despite reality (repeated)
Though it's easy to pretend
Acknowledging awareness, not naivety (repeated)
I know you're not a fool
Regret for cheating a friend (repeated)
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
Wasting a given chance (repeated)
And waste the chance that I've been given
Committing to never dance as before (repeated)
So I'm never gonna dance again
Referencing a past dance with you (repeated)
The way I danced with you
Never dancing without your love
Never without your love
Expressing the loudness of music tonight
Tonight the music seems so loud
Wishing to escape the crowd
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Considering it might be better this way
Maybe it's better this way
Avoiding hurting each other with unsaid words
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
Reflecting on missed opportunities together
We could have been so good together
Picturing a potential enduring relationship
We could have lived this dance forever
Imagining a dance that lasts forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Nobody willing to dance with me
Please stay
Pleading for you to stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
Reiterating the decision to never dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Guilty feet, lacking rhythm (repeated)
Though it's easy to pretend
Pretending remains easy despite reality (repeated)
I know you're not a fool
Acknowledging awareness, not naivety (repeated)
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
Regret for cheating a friend (repeated)
And waste the chance that I've been given
Wasting a given chance (repeated)
So I'm never gonna dance again
Committing to never dance as before (repeated)
The way I danced with you
Referencing a past dance with you (repeated)
Now that you're gone
Reflecting on your absence
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong
Admitting wrongdoing and the consequence of solitude
That you had to leave me alone
Expressing the loneliness after your departure
