Heather Headley - I Didn'T Mean To lyrics

rate me

It's bordering on insanity

So blurred

So unclear

Then suddenly eyes focus and realize that

this man should not be here

It's funny how there's no remorse in the moment

But after it's over you wish you could disown it

And as you get up to tell this stranger to leave

The love of your life walks in and sees . . . everything

Chorus:

And of all the things that you could have said

What was in your head?

I didn't mean to

All the thoughts running through your mind

All that you could find

I didn't mean to

And the pain of losing everything comes over you

I didn't mean to

All you can say is that 'you didn't mean to'

I didn't mean to

And it's reality now

Pictures of him and your baby

Smashed in broken glass all on the floor

With his suitcase in one hand, your little girl's hand in the other

You hear him say "Mommy don't live us no more"

And it cuts like a knife but you can't blame him either

You're a mother, you're a wife, but you're also a cheater

Ooh girl, one silly moment of lust

Just cost you everything that you've ever loved

Chorus:

And of all the things that you could have said

What was in your head?

I didn't mean to

All the thoughts running through your mind

All that you could find

I didn't mean to

And the pain of losing everything comes over you

I didn't mean to

All you can say is that 'you didn't mean to'

I didn't mean to

Bridge:

Oh, the clouds are rolling in

As you prepare to face this punishment and suffer the consequence

Such a price to pay

Was it really worth it?

And you fight back tears

As you watch him take the only thing you ever truly loved away

The tears in her eyes as she waves goodbye

Slowly kills you inside

Chorus:

And of all the things that you could have said

What was in your head?

I didn't mean to

All the thoughts running through your mind

All that you could find

I didn't mean to

And the pain of losing everything comes over you

I didn't mean to

All you can say is that 'you didn't mean to'
