Honestly I didn't mean to cry so hard
The heartache was pouring in like rain
I didn't mean to show I care
Honestly I didn't mean to laugh so loud
But it just sounds so absurd to say that you want me
Say that you need me after everything you've done
Really
Truly I didn't mean to hurt you
I just thought that maybe now
We'd have better luck the second time around
It's always better the second time I hear
Find me in the evening when your ready to dance
And I will take you to the places
Where you never thought you'd have the chance to love
Love
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you
Please believe that I tried my best to forget you
But the memories keep flooding back like tears
I didn't mean to fall in love
But sitting here waiting for this is torture
I'm so glad you're far away
Is that a terrible thing to say
Well I wonder if you're okay
Find me in the evening when your ready to dance
And I will take you to the places
Where you never thought you'd have the chance to love
Love
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you
I would run myself in circles here without you
I've tried and tried and I can't hide from your love
Darling it's too late to show me your intentions
You know we've got to find a way to get past all the implications
Every situation
Every complication that we've come from
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you
Darling love
Love
Love is all we have
