The Music Played

An angry silence lay
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

As lovers danced their way
Around the floor
I sat and watched you walk
Towards the door
I heard a friend of yours
Suggest you stayed
And as you took his hand
The music played

Across the darkened room
The fatal signs I saw
You've been something
More than friends before
While I was hurting you
By clinging to my pride
He had been waiting
And I drove you to his side

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
And as I lost your love
The music played
