I never meant for anything to get this far,
I didn't mean to hurt you, thats just how things are.
Listen to me my dear, thats what you said.
I tipped the table over, on your promises,
I threw a candle at you.
Christina you were so pretty when we went to school,
The other girls just wanted to be pretty too,
And when they turned against you, I was there.
But now I'm turning over, on your promises,
I'm piling rocks upon you.
You didn't have to run,
I wasn't gonna keep you, for very long.
You had to make a sum and dance our target,
I lost my patience, then things went bad.
I never meant for anything to get this far,
I didn't mean for anyone to come to harm.
But when I want to see you, I know where you'll be,
Past the country horses, by an apple tree,
I could bring you roses.
Christina I saw your sister on the road this week,
I asked after your mother and she smiled at me.
I don't know how to tell you but I think she's sweet,
I think I'm falling for her, I think she's falling for me.
But I'll keep coming for you.
Why did you take so long? You're getting like your sister.
You say the ones the one, but I get so lonely,
When you stay out.
And it gets me angry, the things go by.
I never meant for anything to get this far,
I didn't mean for anyone to come to harm.
But when I want to see you, I know where you'll be,
Past the country horses, by an apple tree,
I'll keep it tidy for you.
Christina now that your sisters playing games with me,
I wish you could have seen her carry on this week.
It all just makes me miss you a little more,
But you're just like each other, so you belong together.
So I'll stop coming for you.
I didn't mean to hurt you, thats just how things are.
