I Never Meant To Hurt You
by Cynthia Chatterton

As I lay here in the dark
Silence fills the air,
I wonder why I didn't notice
Just how much you care.

I can't believe I hurt you
After knowing what you've seen,
I know that I was wrong
Heartless, cold and mean.

An apology is given
It comes straight from my heart,
I never meant to hurt you
I've loved you from the start.

I know that you're confused
On how I went astray,
It hurts me more than you,
I regret it every day.

This lifetime isn't over
Yet I feel it frozen in place,
I need to hold you in my arms,
I need to touch your face.

Let me make it better
And we'll push the hurt aside,
But, if it doesn't work,
At least we know we tried.



Those actions aren't me
My true self slipped away,
But now I got "Me" back
And I need for you to stay.

Let me make you trust me
I just can't let you go,
I CAN bring you happiness
That's something we both know.

I'm truly, truly sorry
I've never been so sad,
Knowing that I'm losing
The greatest thing I've had.

I'll never do you wrong
I promise I'll be good,
Let me in your life again
To stand where I once stood.
