i never meant to hurt you

i never meant to hurt you

i'm not that way at all

please believe the words of the heart

a heart that seems so small

and i swear i never meant to hurt you

i guess i lost my place

please

believe the wards of the heart

a heart that hides its fails

why do i do things

i never mean to do?

oh

why did i speak so carelessly

when all that i felt

was love for you?

and i swear i never

i never meant to hurt you

i've got to make you know

please

believe the words of the heart

a heart that didn't show

i never meant to hurt you

i only meant to love you

it's true

and when i saw you crying

i cried too.
