I Never Wanted to Hurt You

I Never Wanted to Hurt You

Jan 17, 2022

I didn’t want to leave you behind

You have to know

I meant it when I said

Only an act of God

Thundering from the mountaintops

Reaching down low to grab me

Could part me from your side

I would have stayed with you

Until the stars in the sky went out

And crashed into us


But naivety breed false promises

And they rolled off my candy-coated tongue

Straight into your touch-starved heart

You need to understand

I was too young to know what I wanted

And what I needed

Were not always going to be the same thing

I’m sorry that I realized this too late
