A promise is just a truth til it makes someone a liar,
Seldom all the honor till they're held against the fire,
Forgivness is a luxury we seldom can't afford
Until the cost is greater, of which cannot be ignored
I didn't mean to let you down,
I didn't mean you any harm,
All I needed was a friend,
I didn't mean to break your heart
A diamond is just some coal that's been beaten to the ground,
Till its picked up by a man so he can kick some hearts around,
A tear is just a drop of water fallin from the sky
Till it quenches someones thirst, only then, can it be cried.
I didn't mean to let you down,
I didn't mean you any harm,
All I needed was a friend,
I didn't mean to break your heart
A rock is just a rock until it rolls on down the road,
And if it doesn't gather moss then it might be a rollin stone,
Dust is just some dirt till its picked up by the wind
If it blows around the world, then it might make it back again
I didn't mean to let you down,
I didn't mean you any harm,
All I needed was a friend,
I didn't mean to break your heart
Luck is just a pencil lyin broken at my feet,
Till I picked it up, then its journey was complete.
Will it give me one last letter?
Will it write you one more song?
Or is it just some lead & wood, the magic all but gone.
I didn't mean to let you down,
I didn't mean you any harm.
All I needed was a friend,
I didn't mean to break your heart
I didn't mean to break your heart.
I didn't mean to break your heart.
