I never wanted to hurt you

You don't have to believe me

Friends are friends

That's what they say

But I thought we could break the rules

Be together anyway

But then I thought a bit too much

And then I ran away

And I never wanted to cause you pain

I think I've used that line before

It's true though, what I'm saying

And I wanted you to know

I know I'm a coward

I gave up and made you go

I never gave you a chance

Or gave us a chance to grow

I never wanted to hurt you

I know it's a cliche

I thought I could tear down my walls

And give my heart to you

I wanted so to let go

And take on a different hue

But I guess I'm still too scared

To let anyone break through
