warning bell

oh the dreaded fear has come

to kill the fun

and everything i thought i learned

has turned away and run

peace

i need this peace tonight

i'll never know me well

cause i locked my heart and swallowed the key

life has taken on my pride

now even hope is hard to find

i only meant to love you truly

i never meant to hurt you deeply

oh the silent warning bell

i know it well

i see the shadows

close my eyes

and pour the muscatel

sleep

i'll let you sleep tonight

my hands are trembling

i stole your heart and cashed it in

life has taken on my pride

now even hope is hard to find

i only meant to love you truly

i never meant to hurt you deeply

life has taken on my pride

now even hope is hard to find

i only meant to love you truly

i never meant to hurt you deeply

and after all the things we've said

i know it now

my heart's not dead

i only meant to love you truly

i never meant to hurt you deeply

i only meant to love you truly

i didn't mean to hurt you deeply
