Oh the dreaded fear has come
To kill the fun
And everything I thought I'd learned
Has turned away and run

Peace, I need this peace tonight
I'll never know me well
'Cause I locked my heart and swallowed the key

Life has taken on my pride
Now even hope is hard to find
I only meant to love you truly
I never meant to hurt you deeply

Oh the silent warning bell
I know it well
I see the shadows, close my eyes
And pour the muscatel

Sleep, I'll let you sleep tonight
My hands are trembling
I stole your heart and cashed it in

Life has taken on my pride
Now even hope is hard to find
I only meant to love you truly
I never meant to hurt you deeply

Life has taken on my pride
Now even hope is hard to find
I only meant to love you truly
I never meant to hurt you deeply

And after all the things we said
I know it now, my heart's not dead
I only meant to love you truly
I never meant to hurt you deeply

I only meant to love you truly
I didn't mean to hurt you deeply
