I didn't wanna hurt myself I didn't wanna hurt anyone else I just wanted the love of a man And that's where my trouble began I didn't wanna be in pain I didn't wanna throw it away I didn't wanna feel so insane I didn't want things to end up this way (CHORUS) I just wanted him to hold my hand I just wanted to be in his plans I just wanted him to understand I just wanted the love of a man I just wanted the love of a man I didn't think it all through I just wanted to feel close to you I was so numb to the core I just wanted to open the door I didn't mean to give so much away I didn't wanna feel this shame I didn't wanna be in this place I didn't want things to end up this way (CHORUS) I just wanted to feel something I didn't want it to burn or sting I thought I could drink from his cup But the poison is tearing me up It's tearing me up (CHORUS) I didn't wanna hate myself I didn't wanna hate anyone else I didn't wanna throw so much away I just wanted the love of a man I just wanted the love of a man
