I never really meant to hurt you
I don't understand when I do
So many people ask me why I do it
As long as I remember
I never thought I had a temper
Whenever I had a chance to show it
I acted so surprised
But you wouldn't believe with your own eyes
And you seemed so self-assured
CHORUS:
They couldn't help you if they tried
They wouldn't even wonder why
They don't want you
They can't have you
They don't have to answer why
I never meant to scare you
I'm only trying tell you
I want so much for you to know
How I really, really feel
How much I adore you
I want so much to please you
I only wish that you could know
How good I could make you feel
But you're so blinded by their light
And you seem so self-absorbed
CHORUS:
They couldn't help you if they tried
They wouldn't even wonder why
They don't want you
They can't have you
They don't have to answer why
Hey don't listen to their lies
They're immune from telling the truth
They eternally deny
And they say you have no proof
CHORUS:
They couldn't help you if they tried
They wouldn't even wonder why
They don't want you
They can't have you
They don't have to answer why
