for Rebecca
I heard about your troubles
The pain that you’re in
Doesn’t seem fair
Doesn’t seem fair at all
Now every time I think of you
The way that you were
Something breaks inside
It just can not hold
Just can not hold
The first time that I met you
It was there in the snow
Your words, soft words,
Whispered low.
The way that you smiled at me,
Eyes all aglow
Your lips, kissed my soul
How could I go?
How could I go?
Chorus:
I never meant to hurt you girl
No I never meant to make you cry
I never meant to, but still your tears did fall
No I never meant to hurt you at all.
I was there when it happened,
Now long ago
Your words, soft words, could not flow
Now every time you spoke to me
Every time you tried
Something died inside
I broke down and cried
Broke down and cried
I tried to give you everything
To care for your soul,
My love, my strength,
You needed so
But every time I turned around
Every move I made
Took me, away from you
My love could not hold
It just could not hold.
Chorus
I heard about your trouble
A hole in your heart
Doesn’t seem fair
Doesn’t seem fair at all
Now every time I think of you,
The loss that you’ve felt
Something breaks inside
It just can not hold
Just can not hold.
Chorus
No I never meant to hurt you at all.
