The Music Played
Love's Retreat: A Melodic Tale of Heartbreak and Betrayal
Lyrics
An angry silence lay where love had been
An intense silence filled the space where love used to exist
And in your eyes a look I've never seen
In your eyes, there was an expression unfamiliar to me
If I had found the words you might have stayed
If I could have expressed my feelings, you might have stayed
But as I turned to speak the music played
As I tried to speak, the music started playing
As lovers danced their way around the floor
While couples danced, I observed you moving towards the exit
I sat and watched you walk towards the door
I heard a suggestion from a friend of yours that you should stay
I heard a friend of yours suggest you stayed
As you accepted his hand, the music played
And as you took his hand the music played
Across the darkened room the fatal signs I saw
You and the other person had a history that went beyond mere friendship
You'd been something more than friends before
While I stubbornly clung to my pride, causing you pain
While I was hurting you by clinging to my pride
He had been patiently waiting, and my actions led you into his arms
He had been waiting and I drove you to his side
I couldn't say the things I should have said
Choosing to let reason prevail over emotions
Refused to let my heart control my head
Realizing the cost of my choices
But I was made to see the price I paid
While he held you close, the music played
And as he held you close
The music played
As I lost your love, the music continued to play
And as I lost your love
The music played
