I Didn't Mean To Hurt You Lyrics

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I can't get along

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I'm so cold at night

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you, dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I can't get along

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you, dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I'm so cold at night

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I'm so cold at night.

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I can't get along

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you, dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I can't get along

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning

I love you like I love the sunrise in the morning
I miss you like I miss the water when I'm burning
I didn't mean to hurt you dear
the words just came out wrong
Now I'm broken down and lonely
and I'm so cold at night.

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.

sometimes we hurt the ones we love. words come out wrong and then they can't necessarily be taken back. as the queen of misunderstandings, I really feel this song.

Super song from a super band. The music builds up into an almost orchestral crescendo. Nice lyrics, too.
