It's bordering on insanity
|
So blurred
|
So unclear
|
Then suddenly eyes focus and realize that
|
this man should not be here
|
It's funny how there's no remorse in the moment
|
But after it's over you wish you could disown it
|
And as you get up to tell this stranger to leave
|
The love of your life walks in and sees . . . everything
|
|
Chorus:
|
And of all the things that you could have said
|
What was in your head?
|
I didn't mean to
|
All the thoughts running through your mind
|
All that you could find
|
I didn't mean to
|
And the pain of losing everything comes over you
|
I didn't mean to
|
All you can say is that 'you didn't mean to'
|
I didn't mean to
|
|
And it's reality now
|
Pictures of him and your baby
|
Smashed in broken glass all on the floor
|
With his suitcase in one hand, your little girl's hand in the other
|
You hear him say "Mommy don't live us no more"
|
And it cuts like a knife but you can't blame him either
|
You're a mother, you're a wife, but you're also a cheater
|
Ooh girl, one silly moment of lust
|
Just cost you everything that you've ever loved
|
|
Chorus:
|
And of all the things that you could have said
|
What was in your head?
|
I didn't mean to
|
All the thoughts running through your mind
|
All that you could find
|
I didn't mean to
|
And the pain of losing everything comes over you
|
I didn't mean to
|
All you can say is that 'you didn't mean to'
|
I didn't mean to
|
|
Bridge:
|
Oh, the clouds are rolling in
|
As you prepare to face this punishment and suffer the consequence
|
Such a price to pay
|
Was it really worth it?
|
And you fight back tears
|
As you watch him take the only thing you ever truly loved away
|
The tears in her eyes as she waves goodbye
|
Slowly kills you inside
|
|
Chorus:
|
And of all the things that you could have said
|
What was in your head?
|
I didn't mean to
|
All the thoughts running through your mind
|
All that you could find
|
I didn't mean to
|
And the pain of losing everything comes over you
|
I didn't mean to
|
All you can say is that 'you didn't mean to'
|
