Didn’t Mean It by Jasmine V
Lyrics to Didn’t Mean It by Jasmine V
Do you seem me and still feel love
or have I changed inside your heart
To have only you, is such a fuss
To give all of me is not enough.
You left then, you came back
Sorry won’t make it up to me
Sorry won’t make me believe
He’s down on bending knees
You’re down on bending knees
Saying, you didn’t mean it
you didn’t mean it
if you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
You didn’t mean it
you never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
There’s no tomorrow, don’t you know
Love me now or let me go
He didn’t mean it
you never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
Say it, say it
I miss the way we used to be
Now you’re the one that i can’t keep
Thought I was first, and never last
Thought it was you, I would always have
You left then, you came back
Sorry won’t make it up to me
Sorry won’t make me believe
You didn’t mean it
You didn’t mean it
if you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
He didn’t mean it
You never meant it
Then why in the world would you say it
There’s no tomorrow, don’t you know
Love me now or let me go
He didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
It’s time to let you go,
It’s time to say goodbye
Boy, you need to know,
I’m done with you messing with my mind
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Oh!
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it.
You didn’t mean it
You didn’t mean it
If you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it it
Then why in the world would you say it…….. (hold)
‘Til tomorrow, don’t you know
Love me now or let me go
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it
Then why in the world would you say it…..
Say it…, say it….
Then why in the world would you say it….
Say it…, say it…
Then why in the world would you say it…
