I Never Meant to Hurt You Lyrics

I never meant to hurt you
I’m not that way at all
please believe the words
of a heart
a heart that seems so small

I never meant to hurt you
I guess I lost my place
please believe the words
of a heart
a heart that hides its face

Why do I do things
I never mean to do?
Why did I speak so carelessly
when all that I felt was love
for you

and I swear
I never meant to hurt you
I’ve got to make you know
please believe the words
of a heart
a heart that didn’t show

I never meant to hurt you
I only meant to love you, it’s true
and when I saw you crying
I cried too

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Why is it that when you love someone so much, you say things you know are going to hurt them, fear and pride maybe?
