I think I preferred it when I didn't know
Who you've been seeing and where you've been going
I think I preferred it when you would just lie
When you'd turn your head when I kissed you goodbye
And I've tried defend how it ended it
But I won't pretend that I didn't cry
It's dark over here on my side of the stage
But you've tortured me all night long
Of course, you can dance with whoever you want now
But baby, that was our song
I think I preferred it when you stayed away
When I could just listen, relax & just play
I think I preferred it when nobody knew
And shame was the only thing getting us through
I should be surprised, but only the wise
Know how to let sleeping dogs lie
It's dark over here on my side of the stage
But you've tortured me all night long
Of course, you can dance with whoever you want now
But baby, that was our song
I see you glancing from over his shoulder
Has anyone's heart has ever run colder?
What turns a love into something you don't recognise?
I think I prefer it now that there's space
And, I don't need to hide when I feel out of place
I think I prefer it now that I'm alone
And no-one reminds me what I should've known
It's dark over here on my side of the stage
But you've tortured me all night long
Of course, you can dance with whoever you choose
I'm jaded & angry, I should be amused!
Sure, I can dance with whoever I want now
But baby, that was our song
I think I preferred it when I didn't know
Who you've been seeing and where you've been going
