Post 295: i Never Meant to Hurt You (1996)

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU (1996)

THE FLOWERS ALL WHITHER AS I WALK BY

SOMEHOW THE SUN WON'T RISE
GOLD LOST ITS LUSTER

I'M POWERLESS TO STOP IT, ALL I CAN DO IS CRY

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR YOU TO CRY
I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARED
BUT WITHOUT YOU I WOULD RATHER DIE
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU; CAN YOU FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FORGIVE ME?

I WAS PLAYING WITH FIRE, WALKING THE RAZOR'S EDGE OF AFFECTION

TALKING THE SWEET WORDS OF DEVOTION,  SHARING ALL YOUR EMOTIONS
WAS WHERE I WANTED TO BE WITH YOU
ONLY ONE THING TO DO

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, I KNOW YOU REALLY CARED

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, BECAUSE YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED, OR EVEN WHY

BELIEVE ME GIRL,  MY LOVE IS NOT A LIE

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, BECAUSE YOU REALLY CARED
NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING

WORDS CAN CUT LIKE KNIVES, SLICING INTO THE SOUL LEAVING SCARS THAT WON'T HEAL

BUT I CAN'T TAKE THEM BACK
BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME

NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE FORGIVE ME
