I Meant To
You needed me to ease your pain
Instead, I left you in the rain
Those hours waiting by the phone
That seldom rang, a heart alone
I meant to
The nights your body ached for me
I never tried, my love to please
You begged "Please talk and hold me tight"
Instead, I walked away that night
I meant to
"I feel this love is going to die
Oh, please my darling, won't you try?"
I couldn't feel the breaking heart
That pleaded rescue from the dark
I meant to
A shattered love that soon turned cold
Your emptiness now all I hold
I try to kiss, you turn your face
A cotton gown, no longer lace
For now it's you who isn't there
I cry alone and you don't care
Then came the day I found you gone
An empty house with no one home
A tiny note lay on the bed
Through tears and trembling hands, I read:
"I found some one who loves me more
He waits for me, I have to go"
I cried, "How could you leave this way
And never let me have my say"
You said...
"I meant to"
