I don't mean to tear you apart,
But I hit a nerve
Last night you weren't sleeping
I didn't mean to hurt you

Another time I might have been more open
With the things that I was feeling,
But I was never one for sharing
Taken out of context was the meaning
Of our whole relationship,
And now I must be leaving

I don't mean to tear you apart,
But I hit a nerve
Last night you weren't sleeping
I didn't mean to hurt you
The choices that I make
Are mine to live with
I didn't want to argue
That's why I never told you

That's why I never told you
What I was really up to
And now we haven't spoken
Since, you and I, we're broken

So there you were
You closed your eyes
You had to know that I was lying
I won't be back this time, please,
Try to understand
I don't want to know what you were dreaming
Don't want to know what you were seeing
Cuz then I'll know what I've been missing

That's why I never told you
What I was really up to
And now we haven't spoken
Since, you and I, we're broken

I don't mean to tear you apart,
But I hit a nerve
Last night you weren't sleeping
I didn't mean to hurt you
