Two Truths
Darling,' he said, 'I never meant
To hurt you;' and his eyes were wet.
'I would not hurt you for the world:
Am I to blame if I forget?'
'Forgive my selfish tears!' she cried,
'Forgive! I knew that it was not
Because you meant to hurt me, sweet-
I knew it was that you forgot!'
But all the same, deep in her heart
Rankled this thought, and rankles yet,-
'When love is at its best, one loves
So much that he cannot forget.'

The past
I never meant to hurt you, I wished I never did
Forgive me, I'm so sorry, somethings we can not change,
Some things are not the same.
Can we erase the days that were so bad, or just remember all the fun we had?
I'm so sorry for all the things I did.......................... I just wanted to be your friend.
I forgot who I was........
I cant shake this pain in my being, I just want to forget the reasons...................
I never meant to hurt you, I wished I never did
Forgive me, I'm so sorry, somethings we can not change,
Some things are not the same

Try Again
Written by ricki & kim wilde
I cant see your face
Hear the excuses for
The mistakes that you make
Ive heard all your lies
I dont know how much I can take
Before I break
Ive tried to be so strong
While you broke the promises
All the vows that we made
We know somethings wrong
But we carry on anyway
Day by day
Youre the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my heart
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
How can we forget
The sweetness of yesterday
We just cant let it go
Lost in bitterness
Im losing my self control
And my soul
Cos youll be the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my mind
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
Oh why, why do we hurt each other more
When theres a way
Cos we never really found
What we were looking for
Can we try again
Cos youre the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my heart
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
Ooh, Ill try again

Forgive Me
Forgive Me"
Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you
I heard the words come out
I felt like I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you
Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken
I'd give anything now
to keep those words from you
Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.
'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me
I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.
And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you

Forgive X
How do you forgive the fox?
How do you forgive the pain?
How do you forgive the sly?
From the one that hurt u all over again
how do you forget the lies?
How do you forget the blame?
How do you forget the damage?
From the one that was playing the game
How do you trust the truth?
How do you trust your heart?
How do you trust the fox?
Will you ever be able to restart?
How do you learn to trust?
How do you learn to forget?
How do you learn to forgive again?
Will I always live with regrets? ?

What I Meant To Say
(what I meant to say)
Last night I told a lie
When I told you I could say goodbye
Here in the light of day
What a crazy thing for me to say
What I meant to say was I love you
Whats been killin me is I hurt you
What I didnt do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall
What I shouldve said was Im sorry
What I shouldve said was forgive me
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all
Last night I had a dream
You were really walking out on me
I woke up scared to death
Please forget about the things I said
What I meant to say was I love you
Whats been killin me is I hurt you
What I didnt do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall
What I shouldve said was Im sorry
What I shouldve said was forgive me
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all

Sorry, I am so sorry my love...
Sorry, I am so sorry my love. I hurt you without any reason
Your tears made my heart cry. Why I did to you that I don't know
Forgive me! I am so sorry my love
Sorry, I am so sorry my love. I scold you without any reason
Your pain made my heart to think
My cruel heart suspects you for nothing
Forgive me! I am so sorry my love
Sorry, I am so sorry my love. I did not mean to hurt you
When you cry then I cry more than you
Because I love you all my heart and soul
Forgive me! I am so sorry my love
Sorry, I am so sorry my love
I told you that I would never hurt you again
but again I made your tears flow once more
Now, I promise you that I will not hurt you again
Forgive me! I am so sorry my love.

Forgive Her Anything (home Demo)
Oh, a TV went off like three day old milk
That shook this town down better than most
And it always was less of an idea and more of a boast
Oh, you're burning in the bloom of life
Till you're powder in the grave
Or you're pounding in the counter begging for more
Till you evaporate
You'd forgive her anything
If you look like you, my pretty miss
I wonder where you are tonight
And this place becomes pitiless?
Oh, I couldn't sleep, but I can't complain
Oh, this won't hurt a bit, oh, this won't hurt again
When the roof comes down and the walls move in
Oh, he didn't know it could feel like that
And your face turned away and the day turned black
And the rain fell like a curtain
Oh, it's my turn to begin
To forgive her anything
You'd forgive her anything
If you knew what I know
You'd forgive her anything
So where did all my pride go?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you'd forgive her anything
If you knew what I know
You'd forgive her anything
So where did all my pride go?

When Will I See You Smile Again?
Im so sorry, baby, I never meant to hurt you. please forgive me.
La da da...
Tears, I see, drop from your eyes. tell me why you cry.
Guilt, I feel, when you look at me. did I let you down?
Girl, you see that i, I apologize.
Tell me what to do to get through to you.
Girl, its not the same. I knew I was to blame.
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Promises, I know I made many times before, and I broke each one of them.
But I had to learn over and over again: dont hurt the one you love.
Girl, you see that i, I apologize.
Tell me what to do to get through to you.
Girl, its not the same. I know I was to blame.
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again?
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Look, baby, listen:
Please forgive me for all the wrong Ive done.
You see, I just cant understand why I keep making this same kind of mistake
Over and over again. but theres one question that remains in the back of my mind, love.
And that is when will I see you smile again?
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? ...

Hurt
(words & music by j.crane - a. jacobs)
Im so hurt to think that you lied to me
Im hurt way down deep inside of me
You said our love was true
And well never, never part
Now youve got someone new
And it breaks my heart
Im hurt, much more than youll ever know
Yes darling, Im so hurt
Because I still love you so
Even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do
I would never hurt, hurt you

My Friend, My Friend
Who will forgive me for the things I do?
With no special legend of God to refer to,
With my calm white pedigree, my yankee kin,
I think it would be better to be a Jew.
I forgive you for what you did not do.
I am impossibly quilty. Unlike you,
My Friend, I can not blame my origin
With no special legend or God to refer to.
They wear The Crucifix as they are meant to do.
Why do their little crosses trouble you?
The effigies that I have made are genuine,
(I think it would be better to be a Jew).
Watching my mother slowly die I knew
My first release. I wish some ancient bugaboo
Followed me. But my sin is always my sin.
With no special legend or God to refer to.
Who will forgive me for the things I do?
To have your reasonable hurt to belong to
Might ease my trouble like liquor or aspirin.
I think it would be better to be a Jew.
And if I lie, I lie because I love you,
Because I am bothered by the things I do,
Because your hurt invades my calm white skin:
With no special legend or God to refer to,
I think it would be better to be a Jew.

Why Hurt The One Who Loves You?
(orbison-dees)
If you really love me, and you say that you do
If youre thinking of me, like you know I think of you
Why hurt the one who loves you?
If you ever leave me, and you say that you will
Then why deceive me, is it just for a thrill?
Why hurt the one who loves you?
You hardly know Im around, and I need you more and more
I beg you please stay with me and you walk out the door
Why hurt the one who loves you?
Have you got nothing better to do?
Why hurt the one who loves you
When you know I dont want to hurt you?
When your new love leaves you, and you want me back again
When you really need me, and you want me for a friend
Ill walk away from you, and darling when I do
Youll wonder why, why
Why, why, why hurt the one who loves you?

Why You Wanna Hurt My Heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
By: arthur neville
1982
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
When you know that I love you
Everybody round us can see
Just how it ought to be
Everybody but you
Played your little game of deception
Soon theres gonna be a connection
When youre blue, oh when youre blue
I know its just a cryin shame, nobody left to blame
Nobody but you
If I could turn back
If I could turn back the hands of time
Id do you a favor, straighten out confusion in your mind
In your mind
Gonna see the voodoo lady
fore this thing drives me crazy
Learn what to do, do about you
Mix me up one of her potions, forget about my emotions
Forget about you
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
When you know that I love you
Everybody round us can see
Just how it oughtta be
Everybody but you
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart

Forgiveness
How can one forgive?
If you cant say it with meaning
To the one that hurt you first
How can one move on
If you can't say I forgive you
Straight from the heart
If anything I have learnt
Is to forgive from the heart
If you don't meant it
Don't say it
If you cant keep to it
Don't bother moving on
Until you forgive
With every fiber of your being
You can and will move on
In your great and wonderful life

I Hurt Someone Last Night
I hurt someone last night
I didn't use a stick
I didn't use a club
I didn't use a knife
I'd never use a gun
I hurt someone last night
It wasn't intentional I swear
Doesn't make it any better
They were left bleeding
In the cold night air
I hurt someone last night
No one heard a sound
No police came
No ambulance called
No one knew at all
I hurt someone last night
She knew, she felt it
She knew, who had dealt it
She knew, how much it hurt
She knew, I hurt her
I hurt someone last night
I love her very much
There was no object weapon used
I used a word instead
The deadliest weapon of them all
I hurt someone last night
Perhaps I should put some words away
And the tone I used
To frighten her away
I think I should apologize now
Because I hurt someone last night
And I love her very much

For get me not
Forget me not please.
Will you forget me?
Will you remember?
Remember the way I died.
How I took my life.
Will you forget me?
Im so sorry.
But I didnt know what else to do.
I did the only thing I knew I could do.
I took my life.
Sorry to cuase you pain.
Sorry to hurt you.
Im very sorry.
Please forget not the goodtimes.
But forget the bad.
Forget how I died.

I Will End This
No matter how much we wanted this to work
We both know it couldnt
We are so much different
I am the sun
And you are the moon
I do not know how we made this far
Yet we did and it was great
We fought our never ending battles with each other
No one won because it hurt to continue
I did hurt you once upon
And you did hurt me
An eye for an eye right?
We just need to stop and end this
Its not healthy for us to continue this battle
You say you love me
And you know I love you
However if we were meant to be
We would not be enemies
You were once my best friend and my lover
But as time went on, we sepreated
You became the moon
And I became the sun
Two different people
Two different hearts
We are not meant to be together
I want to believe that we were
But my heart knows better
I have cried a thousand tears
I have had many sleepless nights
It has to stop
It really does
By staying together we are hurting
I do not know about you
But my heart cannot take much more
So I guess we have to end this
And if you cannot do it
I will have too

I'll Change For You
I know I said somethings
that maybe I shouldn't have said that day
But maybe we're both to blame
Maybe it's the only way
I know how to love
When you walked out the door
with the tears of my life
in your eyes
I wanted to comfort you
But I didn't know the words
to say to you
But stand by me my love
and I'll change for you
I can see the shadows
of our past
But I can't see the future
without you
I know I'm not the perfect man
I know I'm not the perfect son
But maybe it's the only way
I know how to love
But stand by me my love
and I'll change for you
I know I never tell you
how much I love you
It's only because
I'm scared you won't love me
as much as I love you
Your the only one
who see's my tears
Your the only one
who can ease my fears
Please forgive me I only ever meant
to love you
Oh my love I never meant
to hurt you
But stand by me my love
and I'll change for you
I'll change for you

As Long As I Live
(Dolly Parton)
Hurt is no stranger to me
And oh how well I know misery
You've always hurt me
But I always forgive
And I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Oh it's my fault for loving you so deeply
I'd give you my love completely
I'd give you love but hurt is all you give
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
For as long as I love you, there'll be pain
Though tears come and go
My love remains the same
I'll always forgive you
You know that I will
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Yes I've hurt for as long as I loved you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
