You take a socially conscious view of the things you do
try and take a walk in everybody else's shoes
makes me wonder what was on your mind
when you laid old Johnny down
while I sat alone in our bed and closed my eyes

well violence comes in many forms now dear
and the sweetest and subtlest is waiting for you in your mirror
'cause when the Jamison's came out, all the boys found a brand new friend
and things got cold and lonely in our bed.

and the banId played 'Save the Last Dance for Me'
and I felt that shiver rolling through my gut
and now you know that you lie
and I found out I can't cry
and I lost another lover that we never had.

Well the truth is I should'a known better when it came to you
cause you were drinking and your body was a thing to do
it was the wrong place for me
I been stone sober like a cup of tea
man it was cold and lonely in your bed

and the band played 'Save the Last Dance for Me'
and I felt that shiver rolling in my gut
and now you know that you lie
and I found out I can't cry
and I lost another lover that we never had.

I'm alone now kind'a peaceful with the passing pain
and it wasn't much fun being spoon fed your muddy rain
but now I revel in the brutal thought
that you don't return the things you bought
and you bought yourself and cold and a lonely bed.

and you know the band played 'Save the Last Dance for Me'
and I felt that shiver rolling in my gut
and you found out that you lie
and now I know I don't cry
and I lost another lover that we never had.

we both lost a lover that we never had.
