i meant to give you the world

i didn't mean to make it hurt

i meant to give you the stars

i never meant to harm me with scars

i meant, i meant something else

entirely

when i said i could't settle i

didn't mean to pass you by

like a satelite.

i meant to have something in common

i didn't mean to only share

the way we repressed our feelings

i meant to communicate and care

you see

i meant, i meant something else

entirely

when i said you were no help

i meant to ask you to try caring as well.

i meant to make up my mind

i didn't mean to always have you decide

i meant to keep you as friend

and then as something undefined

i meant, i meant something else

entirely

when i said goodbye

i never meant forever

i meant to be back in a while

not to unwelcome myself

from your place

and to pathetically weep

after your face

i meant, i meant something else

entirely -

guess this is why we failed.
