Didn'T Mean To

I have been stung deep and hard by other guys when I let down my guard I thought i'd give you a chance but just like the wind blows so did our romance It blew out like a candle So quickly I was stunned and all I could think of was to get up and run The way I handled it was really immature i'll admit But a part of me felt like now it's my chance to get in a hit I wasn't in love and I didn't want to string you along Letting you think there was hope would have left you worse off I'd rather be honest with myself I told you it was over and that the feelings I'd had before had disappeared like I was suddenly sober Actually saying goodbye never felt so freeing I feel like saying no has brought new clarity I never meant to hurt you I never meant to hurt your pride But a part of me knew that it was time I said goodbye.
