I


I never meant to hurt you
Or make us fall apart
Every tear you cry for me
Is piercing through my heart
I hate to see you sad
It's so very hard to see
What's even worse, is that I know
That it's because of me

II

And I stand speechless
Not knowing what to say
As the sky fills up with storm clouds
I watch you drift away
You float to sea
I am standing on the beach
And I am powerless to stop you
As you escape my reach

III

But I'll be waiting here for you
Should the waves bring you back
I'll be waiting on the shore
Till night falls and the sea turns black
I never meant to hurt you
But if that's the way it's got to be
I ruined it, it's my fault
You can blame it all on me
