[Verse 1]
It's not that I didn't wanna talk, I'm just scared of the confrontation (Yeah)
It's not that I wouldn't risk it all, I just didn't know how to say it (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I don't know how to make it right
Ooh, but it's keepin' me up at night, 'cause

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to leave you lonely
I didn't mean to break your heart, babe
Yeah, I took for granted everything you gave
Never my intention just to walk away
I didn't mean to keep you waiting
I didn't mean to make you think that
After all this time, I never really cared
I know you think I'm mad, but I didn't mean to

[Verse 2]
I could write a million words, apologize for leavin' you in pieces (Yeah)
But honestly, I already tried and I know you still don't believe me (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I don't know how to make it right
Ooh, but it's keepin' me up at night, 'cause
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to leave you lonely
I didn't mean to break your heart, babe
Yeah, I took for granted everything you gave
Never my intention just to walk away
I didn't mean to keep you waiting
I didn't mean to make you think that
After all this time, I never really cared
I know you think I'm mad, but I didn't mean to

[Bridge]
It's the last call, say it's my fault
So I can let this go
You can blame me, say you hate me
I just had to let you know that

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to leave you lonely
I didn't mean to break your heart, babe
Yeah, I took for granted everything you gave
Never my intention just to walk away
I didn't mean to keep you waiting
I didn't mean to make you think that
After all this time, I never really cared
I know you think I'm mad, but I didn't mean to
