Tom Cochrane - Didn't Mean Lyrics

Couldn't show who I was
The things that I was holding back
There's nothing shown from above
That isn't hard stacked destiny
All around the openness
Like what can be said and what is learnt
Where there's duty to do
Lay it all down on the line while
Still desire it burns

Didn't mean to hurt you
Desert you
Bring it right down around
Didn't mean to hold you back
Break you down forsake you
I just wanted to see you smile again
See you smile, see your eyes again

Light shines down on a distant stage
Like another page that is wrote
Red light twelve roses and a note
A bottle of tequila in her room
Sing bird just for me
Like it's real and it wants to be
Released cut lose into the night
Where passion of some kind ignites
Setting all it touches free

Didn't mean to hurt you
Break you
Bring you down and I
Didn't mean to hold you back
Break you down to size
I just wanted to set you free

And I know where love lies
You say you're crazy that's a good disguise
Light shines down on a distant stage
Twelve red roses and a note
A bottle of tequila in her room
Sing bird just for me please
Sing bird just for me please

Didn't mean to break you
Mistake you, fake you out
Didn't mean to hold you back
Break you down forsake you
I just wanna see you smile again
See you smile, see your eyes again
